The Company reports its activities in two operating segments; the Clinical Services Segment and the Pharma Services Segment. These reportable segments deliver testing services to hospitals, pathologists, oncologists, clinicians, pharmaceutical firms and researchers and represent 100% of the Company’s consolidated assets, net revenues and net income for each period presented. For further financial information about these segments, see Note N, Segment Information, in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has evaluated events through the filing date of the financial statements. There were no subsequent events that require disclosure.

Immaterial Restatement and Reclassification

Subsequent to the issuance of the September 30, 2018 consolidated financial statements, during the third quarter of 2019 the Company identified that the gain on redemption of preferred stock for the three months ended June 30, 2018 of $9.1 million was incorrectly presented as a loss on redemption with an offsetting decrease to additional paid in capital in the consolidated statements of redeemable preferred stock and stockholders' equity. As a result, the Company has revised the presentation of the impact of the redemption on the carrying value of the preferred stock in the consolidated statements of redeemable preferred stock and stockholders' equity for the three month period ended June 30, 2018. There was no impact to the beginning and ending balances of preferred stock as a result of this error.

In addition, the Company identified that it has historically incorrectly classified deemed dividends, amortization of BCF and redemption value measurement adjustments on preferred stock as adjustments to its accumulated deficit. As a result, the Company has corrected the historical presentation of all amounts of deemed dividends, amortization of BCF and redemption value measurement adjustments for the three year period ended December 31, 2017 as a cumulative reduction of additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2017 and other applicable periods as further disclosed within the table below.

The adjustments to correct for these errors have no impact to the previously reported consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, or cash flows. The adjustments to correct for these errors also have no impact to total preferred stock or total stockholders' equity as presented within the consolidated balance sheets or statements of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity. Management has considered these errors from a qualitative and quantitative perspective and believes the impact of these errors is not material to previously issued consolidated financial statements. The Company has

restated its accompanying consolidated statements of redeemable preferred stock and stockholders’ equity and consolidated balance sheets to correct for these immaterial errors for the applicable periods presented in this Form 10-Q.

Additionally, the Company made certain other presentation reclassifications to previously reported information related to the redemption of preferred stock in June 2018, including reclassifying $21.3 million of deemed dividends on preferred stock and amortization of beneficial conversion feature to redemption of Series A preferred stock within additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated statements of redeemable preferred stock and stockholders’ equity. Such presentation reclassifications have no impact to total additional paid-in capital for any period.

Note B – Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Adopted

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Topic 842 supersedes the lease requirements in FASB ASC 840, Leases (Topic 840). Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most operating leases and provide enhanced disclosures.

The Company adopted Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method and using the optional transition method to apply the new lease accounting standard prospectively as of January 1, 2019, rather than as of the earliest period presented. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. Adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of net operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $9.7 million and corresponding operating lease liabilities of $10.1 million upon adoption. The adoption did not materially impact the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Cash Flows. Refer to Note C, Leases, herein for further details regarding the impact of the adoption of Topic 842 and other information related to the Company’s lease portfolio.

Issued

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which modifies the measurement and recognition of credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The new standard requires the use of forward-looking expected credit loss models based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount, which may result in earlier recognition of credit losses under the new standard. This new standard also requires that credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities be recorded as an allowance through net income rather than reducing the carrying amount under the current, other-than-temporary-impairment model. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years. The Company plans to implement the new standard in the first quarter of 2020 using a modified retrospective approach, and is in the process of reviewing its credit loss models to assess the impact of the adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This new guidance eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. Topic 350 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2020 and does not expect the impact of the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Under the new guidance, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. However, public companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and related changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those periods, and early adoption is permitted. Certain provisions of the ASU must be adopted retrospectively, while others must be adopted prospectively. The Company will adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2020 and does not expect the impact of the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which changes the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The implementation costs should be presented as a prepaid asset on the balance sheet and expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The standard is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2020 and does not expect the impact of the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note C – Leases

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

The Company leases corporate offices and laboratory space throughout the world, all of which are classified as operating leases expiring at various dates and generally have terms ranging from 1 to 10 years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

Some of the Company’s real estate lease agreements include options to either renew or early terminate the lease. Leases with renewal options allow the Company to extend the lease term typically between 1 and 5 years. When it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise an option to renew or terminate a lease, these options are considered in determining the classification and measurement of the lease.

Lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term and assessed as of the commencement date. Incentives received from landlords, such as reimbursements for tenant improvements and rent abatement periods, effectively reduce the total lease payments owed for leases.

Certain real estate leases also include executory costs such as common area maintenance (non-lease component), as well as property insurance and property taxes (non-components). Lease payments, which may include lease components, non-lease components and non-components, are included in the measurement of the Company’s lease liabilities to the extent that such payments are either fixed amounts or variable amounts based on a rate or index (fixed in substance) as stipulated in the lease contract. Any actual costs in excess of such amounts are expensed as incurred as variable lease cost.

The Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate by lease term in order to calculate the present value of our future lease payments. The discount rate represents a risk-adjusted rate on a secured basis, and is the rate at which the Company would borrow funds to satisfy the scheduled lease liability payment streams commensurate with the lease term. On January 1, 2019, the discount rate used on existing leases at adoption was determined based on the remaining lease term using available data as of that date. For new or renewed leases starting in 2019, the discount rate is determined using the incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement and based on the lease term.

Operating Leases

Operating lease costs include an immaterial amount of variable lease cost, and are recorded in cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the leased asset. Aside from variable lease costs, operating lease costs represent fixed lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As of September 30, 2019, the maturities of our operating lease liabilities and a reconciliation to the present value of lease liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

Lease contracts that have been executed but have not yet commenced are excluded from the tables above. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has entered into $50.3 million of contractually binding minimum lease payments for leases executed but not yet commenced. This amount primarily relates to the lease of the laboratory and headquarters facility in Fort Myers, Florida that is expected to commence in 2021. In addition to the minimum lease payments, the Company will pay $25.0 million relating to the construction of the underlying assets. This amount will be initially recorded as a prepaid asset. On the commencement date of the lease, the amount will be reclassed to either the right-of-use asset or leasehold improvements as appropriate and amortized accordingly. Construction of this facility has not yet commenced. The Company is not expected to control the underlying assets during the construction period and therefore is not considered the owner of the underlying assets for accounting purposes.

As previously disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the previous lease accounting standard, future minimum lease payments for operating leases having initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year were as follows (in thousands):

Note D – Revenue Recognition and Contractual Adjustments

The Company has two operating segments for which it recognizes revenue; Clinical Services and Pharma Services. The Clinical Services segment provides various clinical testing services to community-based pathology practices, hospital pathology labs and academic centers with reimbursement from various payers including client direct billing, commercial insurance, Medicare and other government payers, and patients. The Pharma Services segment supports pharmaceutical firms in their drug development programs by providing testing services and data analytics for clinical trials and research.

Clinical Services Revenue

The Company’s specialized diagnostic services are performed based on a written test requisition form or electronic equivalent. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenues are recognized once the diagnostic services have been performed and the results have been delivered to the ordering physician. These diagnostic services are billed to various payers, client direct billing, commercial insurance, Medicare and other government payers, and patients. Revenue is recorded for all payers based on the amount expected to be collected, which considers implicit price concessions. Implicit price concessions represent differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration the Company expects to receive based on negotiated discounts, historical collection experience and other anticipated adjustments, including anticipated payer denials. Collection of consideration the Company expects to receive typically occurs within 30 to 60 days of billing for commercial insurance, Medicare and other governmental and self-pay payers and within 60 to 90 days of billing for client payers.

Pharma Services Revenue

The Company’s Pharma Services segment generally enters into contracts with pharmaceutical and biotech customers as well as other Contract Research Organizations (“CROs”) to provide research and clinical trial services ranging in duration from one month to several years. The Company records revenue on a unit-of-service basis based on number of units completed and the total expected contract value. The total expected contract value is estimated based on historical experience of total contracted units compared to realized units as well as known factors on a specific contract-by-contract basis. Certain contracts include upfront fees, final settlement amounts or billing milestones that may not align with the completion of performance obligations. The value of these upfront fees or final settlement amounts is usually recognized over time based on the number of units completed, which aligns with the progress of the Company towards fulfilling its obligations under the contract.

The Company also enters into other contracts, such as validation studies, for which the sole deliverable is a final report that is sent to sponsors at the completion of contracted activities. For these contracts, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the final report to the sponsor. Any contracts that contain multiple performance obligations and include both units-of-service and point-in-time deliverables are accounted for as separate performance obligations and revenue is recognized as previously disclosed. The Company negotiates billing schedules and payment terms on a contract-by-contract basis. While the contract terms generally provide for payments based on a unit-of-service arrangement, the billing schedules, payment terms and related cash payments may not align with the performance of services and, as such, may not correspond to revenue recognized in any given period.

Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are deferred as contract liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The associated revenue is recognized and the contract liability is reduced as the contracted services are subsequently performed. Contract assets are established for revenue that has been recognized but not yet billed. These contract assets are reduced once the customer is invoiced and a corresponding receivable is recorded. Additionally, certain costs to obtain contracts, primarily for sales commissions, are capitalized when incurred and are amortized over the term of the contract. Amounts capitalized for contracts with an initial contract term of twelve months or less are classified as current assets. All others are classified as non-current assets.

Most contracts are terminable by the customer, either immediately or according to advance notice terms specified within the contracts. All contracts require payment of fees to the Company for services rendered through the date of termination and may require payment for subsequent services necessary to conclude the study or close out the contract.

The following table summarizes the values of contract assets, capitalized commissions and contract liabilities (in thousands):


	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Current pharma contract assets (1)	$	234	$	86

Long-term pharma contract liabilities (3)	1,898		1,652
Total pharma contract liabilities	$	3,085	$	2,579

⁽¹⁾ Current pharma contract assets and Current pharma capitalized commissions are classified as “Other current assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

⁽²⁾ Long-term pharma contract assets and Long-term pharma capitalized commissions are classified as “Other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

⁽³⁾ Long-term pharma contract liabilities are classified as “Other long-term liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Pharma contract assets increased $0.5 million, or 143%, from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019. Pharma contract liabilities increased $0.5 million, or 20%, during the same period while capitalized commissions also increased by $0.1 million, or 15%. These increases are due to higher upfront fees driven by increases in the volume of Pharma contracts in process.

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to Pharma contract liability balances outstanding at the beginning of the period was $0.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Amortization of capitalized commissions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company considered various factors for both its Clinical Services and Pharma Services segments in determining appropriate levels of homogeneous data for its disaggregation of revenue, including the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. For Clinical Services, the categories identified align with our type of customer due to similarities of billing method, level of reimbursement and timing of cash receipts. Unbilled amounts are accrued and allocated to payor categories based on historical experience. In future periods, actual billings by payor category may differ from accrued amounts. Pharma Services revenue was not further disaggregated as substantially all of our revenue relates to contracts with large pharmaceutical and biotech customers as well as other CROs for which the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows is similar and primarily driven by individual contract terms.

The following table details the disaggregation of revenue for both the Clinical and Pharma Services Segments (in thousands):

Note E – Acquisition

On December 10, 2018 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Genesis Acquisition Holding Corp (“Genesis”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Genoptix, Inc. (“Genoptix”, and collectively with its subsidiaries and Genesis, referred to herein as “Genoptix”), for a purchase price consisting of (i) cash consideration of approximately $127.0 million, which included approximately $2.0 million in estimated working capital adjustments and adjustments for estimated cash on hand of Genoptix on the Closing Date and (ii) 1.0 million shares of NeoGenomics’ common stock pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 23, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”).

Cartesian Medical Group, Inc. (“Cartesian”) is a California professional corporation that provided hematopathology and other pathology services to Genoptix as an independent contractor. Cartesian was consolidated into Genoptix as a variable interest entity. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the professional services agreement between Genoptix and Cartesian was terminated and the Company entered into separate medical services agreements with the entities owned by the physicians who were previously employees of Cartesian. The termination of the agreement with Cartesian did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company issued approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock as consideration for the acquisition of Genoptix. This common stock was issued as unregistered shares, which carries a minimum six-month holding period before they may be sold to the public. The fair value of the common stock consideration was estimated using inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. The key assumption in the fair value determination was a 5 percent discount due to lack of marketability of the common stock as a result of the restrictions imposed on the holder. The acquisition date fair value of common stock transferred is calculated below (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

The goodwill arising from the acquisition of Genoptix includes revenue synergies as a result of our existing customers and Genoptix' customers having access to each other’s testing menus and capabilities and also from the new product lines, which Genoptix adds to the Company’s product portfolio, including the use of COMPASS and CHART trade names. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

On June 27, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a new senior secured credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank National Association (“PNC”), as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The New Credit Agreement provides for a $100.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a $100.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), and a $50.0 million delayed draw term loan which has an availability period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 27, 2020 (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”). The Term Loan Facility and amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured on a first priority basis by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company.

Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) the Adjusted LIBOR rate for the relevant interest period, as defined within the agreement (2) an alternate base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the federal funds rate for the relevant interest period plus 0.5% per annum, (b) the prime lending rate of PNC and (c) the daily LIBOR rate plus 1% per annum, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2). The applicable margin will range from 1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans and 0.25% to 1.25% for base rate loans, in each case based on NeoGenomics’ Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). Interest on borrowings under the New Credit Agreement is payable on the last day of each month, in the case of each base rate loan, and on the last day of each interest period (but no less frequently than every three months), in the case of LIBOR loans. The Company has previously entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in the variable rate for a portion of our long term debt. See Note H, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for more information on these instruments.

The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $10.0 million swing loan sublimit, with swing loans bearing interest at the alternate base rate plus the applicable margin. Any principal outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility is due and payable on June 27, 2024 or such earlier date as the obligations under the New Credit Agreement become due and payable pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement. No amounts were outstanding under Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2019.

Principal payments on the Term Loan Facility will be due on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning September 30, 2019, with an annual principal amortization of 5% in the first year, 5% in the second year, 7.5% in the third year, 7.5% in the fourth year, and 10% in each year thereafter, with the remainder due upon maturity on June 27, 2024 or such earlier date as the obligations under the New Credit Agreement become due and payable pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement.

On September 30, 2019, the Company had current outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility of approximately $6.3 million, and long-term outstanding borrowings of approximately $93.7 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.7 million. These costs were recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount of the related liability and are being amortized over the life of the loan.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the New Credit Agreement, the Company will be required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan. The commitment fee rate will initially be 0.25% per annum, and, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, will range from 0.15% to 0.35% depending on NeoGenomics’ Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Company will also pay customary letter of credit and agency fees.

The Term Loan Facility contains various covenants including entering into certain indebtedness; ability to incur liens and encumbrances; make certain restricted payments, including paying dividends on its equity securities or payments to redeem, repurchase or retire its equity securities; enter into certain burdensome agreements; make investments, loans and acquisitions; merge or consolidate with any other person; dispose of assets; enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions; engage in transactions with its affiliates, and materially alter the business it conducts. In addition, the Company must meet certain maximum leverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

The Term Loan Facility requires the Company to mandatorily prepay the Term Loan Facility and amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility with (i) 100% of net cash proceeds from certain sales and dispositions, subject to certain reinvestment rights, and (ii) 100% of net cash proceeds from certain issuances or incurrences of additional debt.

Prior Financing Agreement

Simultaneous with entering into the New Credit Agreement, on June 27, 2019, the Company terminated the Prior Financing Agreement and repaid all outstanding amounts owed thereunder.

The Prior Financing Agreement, originally entered into on December 22, 2016, with Regions Bank as administrative agent and collateral agent, provided for a $75.0 million term loan facility (the “Prior Term Loan Facility”) and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”). On June 21, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the Prior Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) which provided for an additional term loan in the amount of $30.0 million, for which revised terms are included below.

On December 31, 2018, the Company had current outstanding borrowings under the Prior Term Loan Facility, as amended, of approximately $7.9 million, and long-term outstanding borrowings of approximately $87.9 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.0 million. During the fourth quarter of 2018, $5.0 million was drawn from the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in outstanding borrowings of $5.0 million as of December 31, 2018. The Prior Term Loan Facility and Prior Revolving Credit Facility were terminated on June 27, 2019. In association with the early termination of debt, the Company incurred a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $1.0 million.

Borrowings under the Prior Term Loan Facility bore interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) the Adjusted LIBOR rate for the relevant interest period, as defined within the Credit Agreement, (2) an alternate base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the prime lending rate of Regions, (b) the federal funds rate for the relevant interest period plus 0.5% per annum and (c) the one month LIBOR rate plus 1% per annum (the “Alternate Base Rate”), or (3) a combination of (1) and (2). The applicable margin ranged from 2.25% to 4.00% for LIBOR loans and 1.25% to 3.00% for base rate loans, in each case based on NeoGenomics’ consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Prior Financing Agreement and revised in the Amendment). Interest on borrowings was payable on the last day of each month, in the case of each base rate loan, and on the last day of each interest period (but no less frequently than every three months), in the case of Adjusted LIBOR loans.

The Prior Revolving Credit Facility included a $10.0 million swing loan sublimit, with swingline loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin.

The Prior Term Loan Facility and amounts borrowed under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility were secured on a first priority basis by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company. The Prior Term Loan Facility contained various affirmative and negative covenants including ability to incur liens and encumbrances; make certain restricted payments, including paying dividends on its equity securities or payments to redeem, repurchase or retire its equity securities; enter into certain restrictive agreements; make investments, loans and acquisitions; merge or consolidate with any other person; dispose of assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in transactions with its affiliates, and materially alter the business it conducts. In addition, the Company was required to meet certain maximum leverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

The Prior Financing Agreement required the Company to mandatorily prepay the Prior Term Loan Facility and amounts borrowed under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility with (i) 100% of net cash proceeds from certain sales and dispositions, subject to certain reinvestment rights, (ii) 100% of net cash proceeds from certain issuances or incurrences of additional debt, (iii) beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, 75% of consolidated excess cash flow (as defined) if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio was greater than or equal to 3.25:1.0 or 50% of consolidated excess cash flow (as defined) if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio was less than or equal to 3.25:1.0 but greater than or equal to 2.75:1.0 and (iv) 100% of net cash proceeds from issuances of permitted equity securities by the Company made in order to cure a failure to comply with the financial covenants.

Financing Obligations

The Company has entered into loans with various banks to finance the purchase of laboratory equipment, office equipment and leasehold improvements. These loans mature at various dates through 2022 and the weighted average interest rate under such loans was approximately 4.67% as of September 30, 2019 and 4.56% as of December 31, 2018.

Note H – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In December of 2016 and June of 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the Company’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the Company’s variable rate debt obligations. These derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value as cash flow hedges, which effectively modifies the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed rate obligation, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense.

Under these hedging agreements, the Company receives a variable rate of interest based on LIBOR and we pay a fixed rate of interest. The following table summarizes the interest rate swap agreements.

⁽¹⁾The notional amount increases to $70 million upon maturity of December 2016 hedge on December 31, 2019.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps are included in other assets or liabilities, when applicable. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of the derivative financial instruments included in other long-term assets were $0.04 million and $0.48 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of the derivative financial instruments included in other long-term liabilities were $2.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Fair value adjustments are recorded as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive earnings, except that any gains and losses on ineffectiveness of the interest rate swap would be recorded as an adjustment to other expense (income), net. Fair value adjustments will be reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, whether upon termination or maturity. Hedge effectiveness is assessed quarterly. The Company determined that the interest rate swaps are highly effective and, thus, there is no impact to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Upon termination of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company will reclassify gains or losses on derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to earnings. The December 2016 interest rate swap agreement matures in December 2019. Upon maturity, gains or losses, if any, on this derivative instrument will be reclassified from AOCI to earnings. Based on interest rates in effect at September 30, 2019, the Company estimates the amount reclassified from AOCI to earnings during the next twelve months as the anticipated cash flows occur will be immaterial. There were no amounts reclassified for gains or losses on derivative instruments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Note I – Class A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

On December 30, 2015, the Company issued 14,666,667 shares of its Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Clarient. The Series A Preferred Stock had a face value of $7.50 per share for a total liquidation value of $110 million. On December 22, 2016, the Company redeemed 8,066,667 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for $55.0 million in cash. The redemption amount per share equaled $6.82 ($7.50 minus the liquidation discount of 9.09%). In December 2017, the Company issued 264,000 additional shares of preferred stock as a paid-in-kind dividend, resulting in a balance of 6,864,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at March 31, 2018. On June 25, 2018, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding preferred stock for an aggregate redemption amount of $50.1 million, prior to consideration of any transaction related expenses. The shares were redeemed at $7.30 per share, representing the applicable 4.55% redemption discount on the original liquidation preference plus an additional $0.14 per share in respect of accrued and unpaid dividends for 2018. Following the redemption, no shares of preferred stock remain outstanding.

The $9.1 million gain was calculated as the carrying value of the shares of preferred stock before the redemption of $37.8 million plus the amount of the beneficial conversion feature originally recorded with the redeemed shares of $21.3 million, as compared to the total consideration being paid, in this case the $50.1 million.

Issue Discount

The Company recorded the Series A Preferred Stock at a fair value of approximately $73.2 million, or $4.99 per share, on the date of issuance. The difference between the fair value of $73.2 million and the liquidation value of $110 million represents a discount of $36.8 million from the initial face value representing the impact the rights and features of the instrument had on the value to the Company. After the partial redemption, the Series A Preferred stock had a fair value of approximately $32.9 million, or $4.99 per share. The difference between the fair value of $32.9 million and the liquidation value of $49.5 million represented a discount of approximately $16.6 million.

Beneficial Conversion Features (“BCF”)

The fair value of the common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock was convertible exceeded the allocated purchase price fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock at the date of issuance and after the partial redemption in December of 2016 by approximately $44.7 million and $20.1 million, respectively, resulting in a beneficial conversion feature. The Company recognized the beneficial conversion feature as non-cash, deemed dividends to the holder of Series A Preferred Stock over the first three years the Series A Preferred Stock was outstanding, as the date the stock first becomes convertible was three years from the issue date. In addition to the BCF recorded at the original issue date, the Company recorded additional BCF discounts for payment-in-kind shares accrued for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 as dividends.

Classification

Prior to redemption, the Company classified the Preferred Stock as temporary equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets due to certain change in control events that could have occurred and would have been outside of the Company’s control, including deemed liquidation events described in the Series A Certificate of Designation.

Note J – Equity

The Company recorded approximately $3.3 million and $1.1 million in stock based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and approximately $7.7 million and $5.0 million in stock based compensation expense for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

The Company offers an ESPP through which eligible employees may purchase shares of our common stock at a discount of 15% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, employees purchased 28,672 and 21,100 shares, respectively under the ESPP. The expense recorded for these periods was approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, employees purchased 101,959 and 87,288 shares, respectively, under the ESPP. The expense recorded for these periods was approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Working Capital Adjustment

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a $2.4 million working capital adjustment to the original cash consideration, as defined within the Merger Agreement. In June 2019, the Company received the proceeds of the working capital adjustment as $0.4 million in cash with the remainder received as a return of 99,254 shares of common stock.

Public Offering of Common Stock

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

In May 2019, the Company completed an offering of 8,050,000 shares of registered common stock, at a price of $21.25 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $171.1 million. The Company received approximately $160.8 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting fees of approximately $10.3 million.

Note K - Income Taxes

To calculate its interim tax provision, at the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate and applies such rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings. The effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates and excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to stock option exercises are recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. In addition, the effect of significant, unusual, or infrequent items are recognized in the interim period in which the event occurs. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences between book and tax amounts, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes.

The income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 relates primarily to non-qualified stock option exercises, disqualified incentive stock option exercises, as well as a pre-tax loss incurred related to legal settlements, which includes the Health Discovery Corporation litigation (see Note L, Commitments and Contingencies) for which the income tax benefit was recognized within the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The Company’s effective tax rate was a benefit of 41.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax deductions for equity compensation in excess of GAAP expense, offset by losses in foreign jurisdictions with no associated tax benefit and other non-deductible permanent differences.

Note L – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company was involved in litigation with Health Discovery Corporation (“HDC”) regarding the use of certain licensed technology under a Master License Agreement (“MLA”) dated January 6, 2012 between the Company and HDC. An arbitration hearing took place in December 2018, where the Company vigorously defended its legal rights and remedies pertaining to this licensing dispute. On April 25, 2019, the American Arbitration Association’s Panel of Arbitrators (the “Panel”) issued their ruling (the “Final Award”) which, in pertinent part, terminated the MLA, awarded $1.5 million to HDC in connection with the claims that SmartFlow infringes a valid patent and that internal use by NeoGenomics was subject to milestone and royalty payments, and awarded $5.1 million to HDC with respect to the claim of lack of development and commercialization of SVM-CYTO. All other claims by HDC were denied. The Company’s request for a declaratory judgment was denied and its counterclaims were denied.

The Company recorded an accrual of $4.9 million, net of tax, for this matter during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and paid $6.7 million to HDC related to this matter in the quarter ended June 30, 2019 . This payment settled all obligations of the Company in connection with this litigation. The Company no longer utilizes any HDC technology.

Note M – Related Party Transactions

On November 4, 2016, the Company entered into an amended and restated consulting agreement with Steven C. Jones, a director, officer and shareholder of the Company whereby Mr. Jones would provide consulting services to the Company in the capacity of Executive Vice President.

Overview

We operate a network of cancer-focused testing laboratories in the United States, Europe and Asia. Our mission is to improve patient care through exceptional cancer-focused testing services. Our vision is to become the World’s leading cancer testing and information company by delivering uncompromising quality, exceptional service and innovative solutions.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had laboratory locations in Fort Myers and Tampa, Florida; Aliso Viejo, Carlsbad and Fresno, California; Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Nashville, Tennessee; Rolle, Switzerland and Singapore. The Company currently offers the following types of testing services:

a.Cytogenetics (karyotype analysis) - the study of normal and abnormal chromosomes and their relationship to disease. This involves analyzing the chromosome structure to identify changes from patterns seen in normal chromosomes. Cytogenetic studies are often performed to provide diagnostic, prognostic and occasionally predictive information for patients with hematological malignancies.

b.Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (“FISH”) - a molecular cytogenetic technique that focuses on detecting and localizing the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences and genes on chromosomes. The technique uses fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with which they show a high degree of sequence similarity. Fluorescence microscopy is used to visualize the fluorescent probes bound to the chromosomes. FISH can be used to help identify numerous types of gene alterations, including amplifications, deletions, and translocations.

c.Flow cytometry - a technique utilized to measure the characteristics of cell populations. Typically performed on liquid samples such as peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate, it may also be performed on solid tissue samples such as lymph nodes, following additional processing steps. Cells are labeled with selective fluorescent antibodies and analyzed as they flow in a fluid stream through a beam of light. The properties measured in these antibodies include the relative size, relative granularity or internal complexity, and relative fluorescence intensity. These fluorescent antibodies bind to specific cellular antigens and are used to identify abnormal and/or malignant cell populations. Flow cytometry is typically utilized in diagnosing a wide variety of hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms. Flow cytometry is also used to monitor patients during the course of therapy to identify extremely low levels of residual malignant cells, known as minimal residual disease (“MRD”).

d.Immunohistochemistry (“IHC”) and Digital Imaging – refers to the process of localizing cellular proteins in tissue sections and relies on the principle of antigen-antibody binding. IHC is widely used in the diagnosis of abnormal cells such as those found in cancer. Specific surface membrane, cytoplasmic, or nuclear markers may be identified. IHC is also widely used to understand the distribution and localization of differentially expressed proteins. Digital imaging allows clients to visualize scanned slides, and also perform quantitative analysis for certain stains. Scanned slides are received online in real time and can be previewed often a full day before the glass slides can be shipped back to clients.

e.Molecular testing - a rapidly growing field which includes a broad range of laboratory techniques utilized in cancer testing. Most molecular techniques rely on the analysis of DNA and/or RNA, as well as the structure and function of genes at the molecular level. Molecular testing technologies include: DNA fragment length analysis; polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) analysis; reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (“RT-PCR”) analysis, real-time (or quantitative) polymerase chain reaction (“pPCR”) analysis; bi-directional Sanger sequencing analysis; and Next-Generation Sequencing (“NGS”) analysis.

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

f.Morphologic analysis – refers to the process of analyzing cells under the microscope by a pathologist, usually for the purpose of diagnosis. Morphologic analysis may be performed on a wide variety of samples, such as peripheral blood, bone marrow, lymph node, and other sites such as lung, breast, etc. The services provided at NeoGenomics may include primary diagnosis, in which a sample is received for processing and our pathologists provide the initial diagnosis; or may include secondary consultations, in which slides and/or tissue blocks are received from an outside institution for second opinion. In the latter setting, the expert pathologists at NeoGenomics assist our client pathologists on their most difficult and complex cases.

Clinical Services Segment

The clinical cancer testing services we offer to community-based pathologists are designed to be a natural extension of, and complementary to, the services that they perform within their own practices. We believe our relationship as a non-competitive partner to community-based pathology practices, hospital pathology labs and academic centers empowers them to expand their breadth of testing and provide a menu of services that matches or exceeds the level of service found in any center of excellence around the world. Community-based pathology practices and hospital pathology labs may order certain testing services on a technical component only (“TC” or “tech-only”) basis, which allows them to participate in the diagnostic process by performing the professional component (“PC”) interpretation services without having to hire laboratory technologists or purchase the sophisticated equipment needed to perform the technical component of the tests. We also support our pathology clients with interpretation and consultative services using our own specialized team of pathologists for difficult or complex cases and provide overflow interpretation services when requested by clients.

In addition, we directly serve oncology and other clinician practices that prefer to have a direct relationship with a laboratory for cancer-related testing services. We typically service these types of clients with a comprehensive service offering where we perform both the technical and professional components of the tests ordered. Included in these service offerings are our COMPASS and CHART reports. COMPASS is a hematopathologist-directed multi-platform comprehensive evaluation, which includes an integrated assessment in the final COMPASS consultation report. CHART is a longitudinal patient report comprised of a series of COMPASS reports generated over time. In certain instances larger clinician practices have begun to internalize some components of pathology services. When pathology interpretation services are internalized, our “tech-only” service offering allows these larger clinician practices to also participate in the diagnostic process by performing the PC interpretation services on TC testing performed by NeoGenomics. In these instances, NeoGenomics will typically provide all of the more complex, molecular testing services.

Pharma Services Segment

Our Pharma Services segment supports pharmaceutical firms in their drug development programs by supporting various clinical trials and research. This portion of our business often involves working with the pharmaceutical firms (sponsors) on study design as well as performing the required testing. Our medical team often advises the sponsor and works closely with them as specimens are received from the enrolled sites. We also work on developing tests that will be used as part of a companion diagnostic to determine patients’ response to a particular drug. As studies unfold, our clinical trials team reports the data and often provide key analysis and insights back to the sponsors.

Our Pharma Services segment provides comprehensive testing services in support of our pharmaceutical clients’ oncology programs from discovery to commercialization. In biomarker discovery, our aim is to help our customers discover the right content. We help our customers develop a biomarker hypothesis by recommending an optimal platform for molecular screening and backing our discovery tools with the informatics to capture meaningful data. In other pre and non-clinical work, we can use our platforms to characterize markers of interest. Moving from discovery to development, we help our customers refine their biomarker strategy and, if applicable, develop a companion diagnostic pathway using the optimal technology for large-scale clinical trial testing.

Whether serving as the single contract research organization or partnering with one, our Pharma Services team provides significant technical expertise, working closely with our customers to support each stage of clinical trial development. Each trial we support comes with rapid turnaround time, dedicated project management and quality assurance oversight. We have experience in supporting submissions to the Federal Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for companion diagnostics. Our Pharma Services strategy is focused on helping bring more effective oncology treatments to market through providing world class laboratory services in oncology to key pharmaceutical companies in the industry.

Our Pharma Services revenue consists of three revenue streams:

•Clinical trials and research;

•Validation laboratory services; and

•Data services.

2019 Focus Areas:

We are committed to being an innovative leader in our industry. Over the past year, we have grown our business organically as well as through the acquisition of Genoptix in December of 2018. We have continued to expand internationally with the opening of a laboratory in Singapore. Our plans for 2019 include initiatives to drive profitable growth while successfully integrating Genoptix and maintaining exceptional service levels. We expect these initiatives to continue to position our Company to be the world’s leading cancer testing and information company.

Strengthen Our World-Class Culture

Our belief is that a culture of motivated and engaged employees will deliver superior service to our clients. We are focused on continuing to strengthen our culture by actively seeking feedback and ideas from employees on ways to innovate and grow our business. We will foster employee engagement through collaborative forums, frequent team dialogue and programs to reward teams for exceptional performance.

Enhancing our culture to closely align with the values of our Company is a key priority. We will focus on creating a unified culture as we bring Genoptix and NeoGenomics employees together to become one team. We will create mentoring and training opportunities to enhance and capitalize on the talent within our Company. We believe these initiatives will foster a culture of accountability and empowerment. We also believe these initiatives are necessary to ensure the success of our Company.

Communication is a key element in our high performance culture. Through effective communication we facilitate our employees’ understanding of our Company’s priorities and how they contribute to the Company’s overall objectives. We believe our employee retention rate is above average for the laboratory industry and continuing to strengthen our culture will enable us to continually recruit and retain talented employees.

Provide Uncompromising Quality

Maintaining the highest quality laboratory operations and service levels has enabled us to consistently grow our business. We are continuously looking for ways to improve quality and, in integrating Genoptix and NeoGenomics, we will identify best practices and implement changes to streamline processes across the organization. We are keenly focused on increasing automation and looking for solutions that will maintain quality while improving efficiency in operations.

We plan to continue to grow a culture of quality through company-wide leadership, coaching and employee engagement initiatives. Through training, we aim to empower our employees to understand the importance of quality and how to ensure quality in their respective function. We will implement initiatives to significantly improve the Corrective and Preventative Actions (“CAPA”) process to ensure FDA readiness and will challenge employees to identify quality issues and find solutions.

We have been successful in retaining clients while also gaining market share. As we integrate Genoptix, our goal is to ensure that we maintain the highest quality operation.

Pursue Exceptional Service and Growth

Our plans for 2019 include initiatives to continue to drive profitable growth. We will continue to pursue market share gains by providing high complexity, cancer-related laboratory testing services to hospitals, community-based pathology practices, academic centers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical companies.

Our laboratory teams will focus on service by improving the customer experience. We intend to accomplish this through the development and launch of innovative assays, informatics products and companion diagnostics as well as enhancements to our educational programs. We expect this to result in increased product and process understanding, increased ability to gain market share as well as enabling us to maintain our high levels of client retention.

We will work to maintain our broad and innovative test menu of molecular, immunohistochemistry, and other testing, which has helped make us a “one-stop shop” for many clients who value that all of their testing can be sent to one laboratory. We believe successfully integrating Genoptix’ and NeoGenomics’operations will allow us to increase efficiency and reduce cost per test. We will continue to look for growth opportunities through mergers and/or acquisitions and are focused on strategic opportunities that would be complementary to our menu of services and would increase our earnings and cash flow in the short to medium time frame.

Competitive Strengths

In addition to the competitive strengths discussed below, the Company believes that its superior testing technologies and instrumentation, laboratory information system, client education programs and broad domestic and growing international presence also differentiate NeoGenomics from its competitors.

Turnaround Times

We strive to provide industry leading turnaround times for test results to our clients nationwide, both in the Clinical Services and Pharma Services segments. By providing information to our clients in a rapid manner, physicians can begin treating their patients as soon as possible. Our consistent timeliness of results in our Clinical Services segment is a competitive strength and a driver of additional testing requests by our referring physicians. Rapid turnaround times allow for the performance of other adjunctive tests within an acceptable diagnosis window in order to augment or confirm results and more fully inform treatment options. Additionally, we believe that our rapid turnaround time on testing and our project milestones are a key differentiator in the Pharma Services segment.

World-class Medical and Scientific Team

Our team of medical professionals and Ph.D.’s. are specialists in the field of genetics, oncology and pathology. As of September 30, 2019, we employed, or are contracted with, approximately 100 full-time M.D.’s and Ph.D.’s. We have many nationally and world-renowned pathologists on staff, which is a key differentiator from many smaller laboratories. Our clinical customers look to our staff and their expertise and they often call our medical team on challenging cases. For our Pharma Services segment, many sponsors work with our medical team on their study design and on the interpretation of results from the studies. Our medical team is a key differentiator as we have a depth of medical expertise that many other laboratories cannot offer to Pharmaceutical companies.

Innovative Service Offerings

We believe we currently have the most extensive menu of tech-only FISH services in the country as well as extensive and advanced tech-only flow cytometry and IHC testing services. These types of testing services allow the professional interpretation component of a test to be performed and billed separately by our physician clients. Our tech-only services are designed to give pathologists the option to choose, on a case-by-case basis, whether they want to order just the technical information and images relating to a specific test so they can perform the professional interpretation, or order “global” services and receive a comprehensive test report which includes a NeoGenomics pathologist’s interpretation of the test results. Our clients appreciate the flexibility to access NeoGenomics’ medical staff for difficult or complex cases or when they are otherwise unavailable to perform professional interpretations.

Global Service Offerings

We offer a comprehensive suite of technical and interpretation services, to meet the needs of those clients who are not credentialed and trained in interpreting genetic tests and who require pathology specialists to interpret the testing results for them. In our global service offerings, our lab performs the technical component of the tests and our M.D.s and Ph.Ds. provide the service of interpreting the results of those tests. Our professional staff is also available for post-test consultative services. Clients using our global service offering rely on the expertise of our medical team to give them the answers they need in a timely manner to help inform their diagnoses and treatment decisions. Many of our tech-only clients also rely on our medical team for difficult or challenging cases by ordering our global testing services on a case-by-case basis or our medical team can serve as a backup to support our clients who need help to satisfy the continued and demanding requirements of their practice. Our reporting capabilities allow for all relevant case data from our global services to be captured in one summary report. When providing global services, NeoGenomics bills for both the technical and professional component of the test, which results in a higher reimbursement level.

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

National Direct Sales Force

Our direct sales force has been trained extensively in cancer genetic testing and consultative selling skills to service the needs of clients. Our sales team for the clinical cancer testing services is organized into ten regions. Our Pharma Services segment has a dedicated team of business development specialists who are experienced in working with pharma sponsors and helping them with the testing needs of their research and development projects as well as Phase 1-3 studies. These sales representatives utilize our custom Customer Relationship Management System (“CRM”) to manage their territories, and we have integrated all of the important customer care functionality within our Laboratory Information System (“LIS”) into the CRM so that our sales representatives can stay informed of emerging issues and opportunities within their regions. Our in-house customer care team is aligned with our field sales team to serve the needs of our clients by utilizing the same LIS and CRM. Our field teams can see in real-time when a client calls the laboratory, the reason for the call, the resolution, and if face-to-face interaction is needed for follow-up.

Seasonality

The majority of our clinical testing volume is dependent on patients being treated by hematology/oncology professionals and other healthcare providers. The volume of our testing services generally declines modestly during the summer vacation season, year-end holiday periods and other major holidays, particularly when those holidays fall during the middle of the week. In addition, the volume of our testing tends to decline due to extreme adverse weather conditions, such as excessively hot or cold spells, heavy snow, hurricanes or tornadoes in certain regions, consequently reducing revenues and cash flows in any affected period.

Please see the section captioned Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019 and as amended and filed with the SEC on May 8, 2019, for a detailed description of our business.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $4.6 million and $13.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the same periods in 2018. This increase primarily reflects the acquisition of Genoptix as well as higher commissions due to our increase in revenues, the expansion of our sales team and continued investment in marketing. We expect higher commissions expense in the coming quarters as the sales representatives’ continue generating new business with a focus on oncology office sales. We expect our sales and marketing expenses over the long term to align with changes in revenue.

Interest Expense, net

Net interest expense is comprised of interest incurred on our term debt, revolving credit facility and our other financing obligations offset by the interest income we earn on cash balances. Net interest expense for the three months ending September 30, 2019 decreased 89.2%, or $1.7 million, compared to the same period in 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net interest expense decreased by 30.1%, or $1.4 million. We expect our interest expense to fluctuate based on timing of advances and payments on our revolving credit facility as well as changes in interest rates and cash balances.

Non-GAAP Measures

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s financial results and financial guidance are provided in accordance with GAAP and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that the presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company’s core operating results and comparison of core operating results across reporting periods. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting purposes and to manage the Company’s business. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to evaluate the Company’s operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not present the full measure of the Company’s recorded costs against its net revenue. In addition, the Company’s definition of the non-GAAP financial measures below may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

“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 expense, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (v) acquisition and integration related expenses, (vi) non-cash impairments of intangible assets, (vii) debt financing costs, (viii) and other significant non-recurring or non-operating (income) or expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations, public and private sales of equity securities, and bank debt borrowings.

The following table presents a summary of our consolidated cash flows for operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 as well balances of cash and cash equivalents and working capital:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash flows from operating activities were $20.0 million, a $9.3 million decrease compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $12.0 million, as well as an increase in inventory of $4.6 million. Receivables have increased year-over-year due to increases in revenue. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in accrued expenses of $7.0 million.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash used in investing activities was $13.6 million, an increase of approximately $2.5 million compared to the same period in 2018. This was primarily due to an increase in the purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by the working capital adjustment related to the Genoptix acquisition.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash provided by financing activities was $162.6 million compared to $87.4 million in the same period in 2018. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted primarily of net cash proceeds of $160.8 million resulting from the equity offering and $10.1 million from stock option exercises, offset by net repayment of the term loan and other finance obligations of $7.2 million.

Credit Facility

On June 27, 2019, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit agreement (“New Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank National Association. Simultaneous with entering into the New Credit Agreement, the Company terminated the Prior Financing Agreement and repaid all outstanding amounts owed thereunder. For further details regarding the new and prior agreements, see Note G, Debt. In order to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on this floating rate debt obligation, we entered into interest rate swap agreements. For more information on these hedging instruments, see Note H, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein. The interest rate swap agreement effectively converts a portion of our floating rate debt to a fixed obligation, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. We believe this strategy will enhance our ability to manage cash flow within our Company.

Liquidity Outlook

We had approximately $178.9 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019. In addition, the new senior secured credit agreement provides for up to $250.0 million in borrowing capacity of which $100.0 million is outstanding at September 30, 2019. Based on our level of Adjusted EBITDA and the balance drawn, approximately $115 million was available at that same date. We believe that the cash on hand, available credit lines and positive cash flows generated from operations will provide adequate resources to meet our operating commitments and interest payments for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements.

Capital Expenditures

We currently forecast capital expenditures in order to execute on our business plan and maintain growth; however, the actual amount and timing of such capital expenditures will ultimately be determined by the volume of business. We currently anticipate that our cash payments for capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2019 will be in the range of $18 million to $20 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we purchased approximately $17.6 million of capital equipment, software and leasehold improvements, which included $14.0 million in cash payments. The remaining $3.7 million was financed under loan obligations. We have funded and plan to continue funding these capital expenditures with financing obligations, cash, and through bank loan facilities, if necessary.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions and select accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as amended, except for the adoption of new accounting standards, including the new standard related to leases. For further details regarding our leases, see Note C, Leases.

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and other relevant market rate or price changes. We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in the LIBOR interest rate and foreign currency exchange rates. We regularly evaluate our exposure to such changes and may elect to minimize this risk through the use of interest rate swap agreements. For further details regarding our significant accounting policies relating to derivative instruments and hedging activities, see Note B to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not have any material foreign operations or foreign sales and thus have limited exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
