in the Fourth Quarter

Consolidated revenue increased 39.7% to $106.9 million
Clinical Services revenue increased 41.7% to $93.4 million
Pharma Services revenue increased 27.5% to $13.5 million
Pharma Services backlog increased 31.8% to $130.3 million
Company issues 2020 financial guidance

Ft. Myers, Florida - February 27, 2020 - NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEO), a leading provider of cancer-focused genetic testing services, today announced fourth-quarter and full-year 2019 results for the period ended December 31, 2019.

“Our fourth quarter performance concludes a very successful year for NeoGenomics in which our company grew by nearly 50% and our competitive position strengthened dramatically”, said Douglas M. VanOort, the Company’s Chairman and CEO.

“In the fourth quarter, our Clinical Services Division once again reported excellent volume growth of 27% driven by market share gains and the addition of Genoptix. We are particularly pleased that combined molecular and Next Generation Sequencing test volume continued to grow at rates approximating 50%, and that average-revenue-per-test improved by over 10% from last year. Pharma Services Division growth was also excellent with strong revenue gains, a record amount of newly-signed contracts, and a current backlog of approximately $130 million in signed contracts.”

“Perhaps more importantly, we are very excited about the opportunities in front of us. We’ve made significant investments in a variety of growth initiatives over the past year, including our recent acquisition of the Oncology Division of Human Longevity, Inc., investments in Next Generation Sequencing, and Informatics. We believe that NeoGenomics has significant, sustainable competitive advantages and is well positioned for growth in each of the markets in which we operate.”

Fourth-Quarter Results

Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $106.9 million, an increase of 40% over the same period in 2018. Clinical test volume(1) increased by 27% year over year. Average revenue per clinical test (“revenue per test”) increased by 11% to $370, primarily due to the acquisition of Genoptix and the impact of favorable test mix and growth in next-generation sequencing. Clinical Services revenue was $93.4 million, resulting in a 42% increase over the fourth quarter of 2018. Pharma Services revenue was $13.5 million, which represented a 27% increase over the fourth quarter of 2018.

Gross profit improved by $12.8 million, or 34.5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, to $49.9 million. Gross margin decreased by approximately 181 basis points year-over-year to 46.7%. Gross margin decreases are primarily due to the integration of Genoptix. Average cost of goods sold per clinical test (“cost per test”) increased by 14% year over year, reflecting the impact of the Genoptix acquisition, including integration-related activities, and test mix. The increase was partially offset by continued efficiencies as we integrate Genoptix.

Operating expenses increased by $13.3 million, or 39%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily due to the Genoptix acquisition, investments in research and development, and growth initiatives.



Net income for the fourth quarter was $6.3 million compared to net income of $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $13.6 million for the fourth quarter, a 5% improvement from the prior year. Adjusted Net Income(2) was $10.9 million compared to $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.
 
Cash and cash equivalents were $173.0 million and days sales outstanding were 81 days at the end of the fourth quarter.

Full Year Results

Consolidated revenues for 2019 were $408.8 million, an increase of 48% over 2018 primarily due to continued volume growth and the acquisition of Genoptix. Net income for 2019 was $8.0 million compared to $2.6 million in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA(2) for 2019 was $57.2 million, a 31% increase from the prior year. Adjusted Net Income(2) for 2019 was $32.3 million compared to $17.9 million in 2018.

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) net interest expense, (ii) tax (benefit) 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.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income

“Adjusted Net Income” is defined by NeoGenomics as net income available to common shareholders from continuing operations plus: (i) non-cash amortization of customer lists and other intangible assets, (ii) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (iii) non-cash deemed dividends on preferred stock, (iv) non-cash amortization of preferred stock beneficial conversion feature, 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.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS

“Adjusted Diluted EPS” is defined by NeoGenomics as adjusted net income divided by adjusted diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted diluted shares outstanding is the sum of diluted shares outstanding and the weighted average number of common shares that would be outstanding if the preferred stock 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. In addition, if GAAP net income is negative and adjusted net income is positive, adjusted diluted shares will also include any options or warrants that would be outstanding as dilutive instruments using the treasury stock method.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Guidance to Corresponding GAAP Measures

“Net income (GAAP)” in 2020 will be impacted by certain charges, including: (i) expense related to the amortization of customer lists and other intangibles, (ii) non-cash stock based compensation (iii) acquisition and integration related expenses and non-recurring charges, (iv) other one-time charges. These charges have been included in GAAP net income available to common shareholders and GAAP net income per share; however, they have been removed from “Adjusted net income (non-GAAP)” and “Adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP).”

The following table reconciles our 2020 outlook for net income and EPS to the corresponding non-GAAP measures of “Adjusted net income (non-GAAP)”, “Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)” and “Adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP)” (in thousands except per share amounts):
