(1) This adjustment compensates for the effects of the if-converted impact of convertible notes in net income. Since an entity using the if-converted method assumes that a convertible debt instrument was converted into common shares at the beginning of the reporting period, net income is adjusted to reverse any recognized interest expense (including any amortization of discounts).

Note 1. Nature of the Business
Nature of the Business
NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (the “Parent,” “Company,” or “NeoGenomics”), operates as a certified, high complexity clinical laboratory in accordance with the federal government’s CLIA, and is dedicated to the delivery of clinical diagnostic services to pathologists, oncologists, urologists, hospitals, and other laboratories as well as providing clinical trial services to pharmaceutical firms.
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and the disease has since spread across the world, including the United States (“U.S.”). In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The outbreak of the pandemic is materially adversely affecting the Company’s employees, patients, communities and business operations, as well as the U.S. economy and financial markets. The full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may continue to be materially adversely affected, particularly if the pandemic continues to persist for a significant amount of time.
The Company anticipates that the cash on hand, marketable securities and cash collections are sufficient to fund near-term capital and operating needs for at least the next 12 months.
At the end of the first quarter 2021, due to the broad roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine and a sharp decline in COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) testing demand, the Company made the decision to exit COVID-19 PCR testing and the Company recorded a $6.1 million expense related to the exit from COVID-19 PCR testing. This amount consisted of write-offs of $5.3 million for all remaining COVID-19 PCR testing inventory recorded to cost of revenue and $0.8 million for all remaining COVID-19 PCR testing laboratory equipment recorded to general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. There were no such amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act
The Federal government passed legislation that the President of the United States signed into law on March 27, 2020, known as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). On April 10, 2020, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services announced that Medicare-enrolled providers would receive a portion of a direct deposit disbursement totaling $50 billion. The $50 billion is part of a $100 billion Public Health and Social Service Emergency Fund created by the CARES Act. Payments made under the CARES Act are intended to reimburse healthcare providers for health care related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19 and are not required to be repaid provided that recipients attest to and comply with certain terms and conditions, including limitations on balance billing for COVID-19 patients. In the absence of specific guidance to account for government grants in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company accounts for such grants in accordance with international accounting standards for government grants. Such amounts are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will (1) comply with the conditions associated with the grant and (2) receive the grant. There was no grant income recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $7.9 million in grant income related to the CARES Act. There were no such amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2020. CARES Act grant income is classified in other income, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The CARES Act permits the deferral of payment of the employer portion of social security taxes between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount due on December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due on December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the total accrued deferred social security taxes related to the CARES Act was $5.9 million. At both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, this amount was recorded evenly between accrued expenses and other liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Additionally, the CARES Act included an Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”) provision designed to encourage employers to keep employees on their payroll. The ERTC is a refundable tax credit against certain payroll taxes paid by employers for eligible wages paid between March 13, 2020 and December 31, 2020 that meet the requirements of the ERTC provision. On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act was enacted extending the deadline of the ERTC to December 31, 2021 and expanded who is eligible to claim the credit. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $3.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively, under the ERTC which was included in loss from operations

These principles require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates, judgments and assumptions. Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions used in these Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited, to those related to revenues, accounts receivable and related allowances, contingencies, useful lives and recovery of long-term assets and intangible assets, income taxes and valuation allowances, stock-based compensation, business combinations, and impairment analysis of goodwill. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of material revisions in estimates are reflected on the Consolidated Financial Statements prospectively from the date of the change in estimate.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recorded based on their estimated fair values as of the business combination date, including identifiable intangible assets which either arise from a contractual or legal right or are separable from goodwill. The Company bases the estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination on independent third-party valuations that use information and assumptions provided by its management, which consider estimates of inputs and assumptions that a market participant would use. Any excess purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded to goodwill. The use of alternative valuation assumptions, including estimated revenue projections, growth rates, estimated cost savings, cash flows, discount rates, estimated useful lives and probabilities surrounding the achievement of contingent milestones could result in different purchase price allocations and amortization expense in current and future periods. Transaction costs associated with acquisitions are expensed as incurred in general and administrative expenses. Results of operations and cash flows of acquired companies are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition.
Assets Held for Sale
Assets to be disposed of by sale are reclassified as held for sale if their carrying amounts are expected to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and when the Company commits to a plan to sell the assets. Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Such assets are classified within current assets if there is reasonable certainty that the sale and collection of consideration will take place within one year. Upon reclassification as held for sale, long-lived assets are no longer depreciated or amortized, and a measurement for impairment is performed to determine if there is an excess of carrying value over fair value less costs to sell. Any remeasurement is reported

The Company owns 43,560 square feet of our Carlsbad, California facility. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company committed to selling this property and the associated land and concluded that these assets met the held for sale criteria. As of September 30, 2021, $10.1 million was recorded as assets held for sale within current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for this property and associated land and reflects its carrying value which was lower than its fair value less costs to sell. We expect to sell this property within one year; however, there can be no assurance that the sale of this property will be completed in the time frame we expect or at all.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures compensation expense for stock-based awards to employees, non-employee contracted physicians, and directors based upon the awards’ initial grant-date fair value. The estimated grant-date fair value of the award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line method.
Prior to 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of stock options using a trinomial lattice model. On January 1, 2021, the Company began applying the Black-Scholes option valuation model (“Black-Scholes”) on a prospective basis to new awards. The Company expects the use of Black-Scholes to provide a more ubiquitous estimate of fair value. Like the prior trinomial lattice model, Black-Scholes is affected by the stock price on the date of the grant as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include the expected term of the option, expected risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of common stock, and expected dividend yield, each of which is more fully described below. The assumptions for expected term and expected volatility are the two assumptions that significantly affect the grant date fair value.
Expected Term: The expected term of an option is the period of time that the option is expected to be outstanding. The average expected term is determined using the Black-Scholes model.
Risk-free Interest Rate: The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes model is based on the implied yield at the grant date of the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with an equivalent term to the stock-based award being valued. Where the expected term of a stock-based award does not correspond with the term for which a zero coupon interest rate is quoted, the Company uses the nearest interest rate from the available maturities.
Expected Stock Price Volatility: The Company uses its own historical weekly volatility because that is more reflective of market conditions.
Dividend Yield: Because the Company has never paid a dividend and does not expect to begin doing so in the foreseeable future, the Company assumed no dividend yield in valuing the stock-based awards.
The Company measures the fair value of its performance-based stock awards issued to employees based on the closing market price of the common stock on the trading date immediately preceding the grant date. Compensation expense for stock units with performance metrics is calculated based upon expected achievement of the metrics specified in the grant. Any expense is recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Also, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Temporary differences between financial and tax reporting arise primarily from the use of different depreciation and amortization methods and lives for property and equipment and recently acquired Inivata developed technology intangible assets, recognition of accounts receivable, compensation related expenses, and various other expenses that have been allowed for or accrued for financial statement purposes but are not currently deductible for income tax purposes.
The provision for income taxes, including the effective tax rate and analysis of potential tax exposure items, if any, requires significant judgment and expertise in federal and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and any estimated valuation allowances deemed necessary to recognize deferred tax assets at an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Management assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets as of the end of each quarter, weighing available positive and negative evidence, and is required to establish and maintain a valuation allowance for these assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the evidence can be objectively verified. If negative evidence exists, positive evidence is necessary to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.
As of December 31, 2020, expected future reversals of the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities provided objectively verifiable positive evidence to support the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. However, on January 1, 2021, the Company

(unaudited)
adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) using the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in a decrease of approximately $6.6 million in the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities. In addition, approximately $2 million of valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred income tax assets was established upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, resulting from the decrease in deferred income tax liabilities available to support the recoverability of deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance represents the portion of the Company’s U.S. deferred income tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized in future periods, primarily related to Federal and California research and development tax credit carryforwards.
A cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome. Cumulative loss in recent years is commonly defined as a three-year cumulative loss position. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s U.S. ongoing operations were in a three-year cumulative loss position. Management determined that sufficient objectively verifiable positive evidence did not exist to overcome the negative evidence of the Company’s U.S. cumulative loss position. Accordingly, the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the Company’s pre-tax (loss) income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, included the unfavorable impact of valuation allowance expected to be established against the Company’s deferred income tax assets expected to be created in 2021 for additional U.S. net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s total valuation allowance against U.S. deferred income tax assets is forecasted to be approximately $18 million including deferred income tax assets from the acquisitions of Intervention Insights, Inc., d/b/a Trapelo Health, and the U.S. subsidiary of Inivata Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales. For further details regarding the acquisitions of Trapelo Health and Inivata Limited, please refer to Note 3. Acquisitions. The Company also continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in Switzerland, Singapore and China, which increased from $2.6 million as of December 31, 2020 to $3.8 million as of September 30, 2021. No valuation allowance was determined to be required for deferred income tax assets from the acquisition of Inivata Limited, the British entity.
The Company evaluates tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken in its tax returns, and records a liability for uncertain tax positions, if deemed necessary. The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. First, tax positions are recognized if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Second, the tax position is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had an uncertain tax position related to Federal and State R&D tax credit carryforwards. No interest and penalties have been accrued, as the income tax credits are carried forward to offset income tax liabilities in future years.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-06, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Financial Services-Depository and Lending (Topic 942), and Financial Services-Investment Companies (Topic 946) (“ASU 2021-06”), Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses, and No.33-10835, Update of Statistical Disclosures for Bank and Savings and Loan Registrants. This update amends certain SEC disclosure guidance that is included in the accounting standards codification to reflect the SEC’s recent issuance of rules intended to modernize and streamline disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this pronouncement upon issuance and the impact of the provisions of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements was immaterial.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updates various codification topics by clarifying disclosure requirements to align with the SEC’s regulations. The Company adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2021 and the impact of the provisions of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements was immaterial.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature, and as a result, after adoption, entities will no longer separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature for such convertible debt instruments. Similarly, the debt discount, that is equal to the carrying value of the embedded conversion feature upon issuance, will no longer be amortized into income as interest expense over the life of the instrument. Instead, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives

and Hedging, or (2) a convertible instrument was issued at a substantial premium. In addition, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. ASU 2020-06 can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis.
The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective approach, and accordingly the Company recorded an adjustment that reflects the 1.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 as if the embedded conversion feature had not been separated. The impact upon adoption on the Consolidated Balance Sheets included an increase of approximately $27.2 million in convertible senior notes, net, a write-off of approximately $6.6 million in deferred income tax liabilities, establishment of approximately $2 million of valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets, and a decrease of approximately $23.3 million in additional paid-in capital. In addition, upon adoption, there was an adjustment to increase the beginning balance of retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for previously recognized interest expense, net of tax effects, of approximately $2.7 million for amortization of debt discount related to the carrying value of the embedded conversion feature upon issuance, as well as a decrease to the beginning balance of retained earnings of approximately $2 million for the establishment of valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred income tax assets. There was no impact to the Company’s earnings per share calculation. For further information regarding the 1.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2025, please refer to Note 8. Debt.
Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). This update amends guidance to require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted including adoption in an interim period. If the Company early adopts in an interim period, the Company is required to apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) which provides for temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on certain contract modifications and hedging relationships to ease the burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other reference rates to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2021-01”) to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions apply to modifications of derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest. ASU 2020-04 was effective beginning on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to such transactions through December 31, 2022 and ASU 2021-01 was effective beginning on January 7, 2021 and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively to such transactions through December 31, 2022. The Company will evaluate transactions or contract modifications occurring as a result of reference rate reform and determine whether to apply the optional guidance on an ongoing basis. As of September 30, 2021, there was no impact to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements related to ASU 2020-04 or ASU 2021-01.
Note 3. Acquisitions
Trapelo Health
On April 7, 2021 (the “Trapelo Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of a 100 % ownership interest in Intervention Insights, Inc. d/b/a Trapelo Health (“Trapelo”), an information technology company focused on precision oncology. The purchase price consisted of (i) cash consideration of $35.6 million, which included a net adjustment of $0.6 million for estimated cash on hand of Trapelo and estimated working capital adjustments on the Trapelo Acquisition Date, and (ii) equity consideration of $29.2 million, consisting of 597,712 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, valued at $48.81 per share. The Company acquired control of Trapelo on the Trapelo Acquisition Date; therefore, the fair value of the common stock issued as part of consideration was determined on the basis of the closing market price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the Trapelo Acquisition Date. The Trapelo acquisition enhances the Company’s ability to provide customers clinical decision support to help answer complex questions related to precision oncology biomarker testing and treatment options as part of the Company’s comprehensive oncology offerings.

The acquisition of Trapelo was determined to be a business combination and has been accounted for using the acquisition method. The purchase price and purchase price allocation are preliminary, are based upon management’s best estimates and assumptions, and are subject to future revision. The following table summarizes the estimated purchase consideration recorded for the acquisition of Trapelo, the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the preliminary calculation of goodwill based on the excess of the estimated consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Trapelo Acquisition Date (in thousands, except per share data):

Due to the timing of the acquisition, the following are considered preliminary and are subject to change:
•amounts for intangible assets, other long-term assets, other current assets, current liabilities and other working capital adjustments pending finalization of the valuation;
•amounts for income tax assets and liabilities, pending finalization of estimates and assumptions in respect of certain tax aspects of the transaction; and
•amount of goodwill pending the completion of the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The Company will finalize these amounts no later than one year from the acquisition date once it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement process. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date may result in adjustments to the preliminary amounts disclosed above which may impact the reported results in the period those adjustments are identified. There have been no such adjustments to the preliminary amounts disclosed above subsequent to the Trapelo Acquisition Date.
The identified developed technology and marketing intangible assets are being amortized over ten years and four years , respectively, based on their estimated useful lives. The weighted-average amortization period in total for all classes of intangible assets from the Trapelo acquisition is 9.8 years. The developed technology was valued using the income approach, specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method, which measures the after-tax cash flows attributable to the developed technology. The marketing intangible assets were valued using the income approach, specifically, the relief from royalty method, which measures the cash flow streams attributable to the marketing intangible assets in the form of the avoided royalty payment that would be paid to the owner in return for the rights to use the marketing intangible assets had the intangible assets not been acquired. The values of the identifiable intangible assets represent Level 3 measurements as they were based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions used in pricing the assets at fair value. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.
The goodwill recognized, all of which is assigned to the Clinical Services segment, was primarily attributable to expected synergies of the combined businesses and the acquisition of an assembled workforce knowledgeable of the healthcare and

information technology industries. No ne of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Trapelo is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Acquisition and integration costs related to Trapelo were approximately $0.1 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and are reported as general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no such amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The results of operations of Trapelo are included in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on the Trapelo Acquisition Date. Revenue and net (loss) income of Trapelo included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations was not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. No pro forma information has been included relating to the Trapelo acquisition, as this acquisition was not deemed to be material to the Company’s revenue or net (loss) income on a pro forma basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Inivata Limited
On June 18, 2021 (the “Inivata Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining equity interests in Inivata Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“Inivata”). Inivata is a global, commercial stage, liquid biopsy platform company. The acquisition follows a $25 million minority equity investment by the Company in Series C1 Preference Shares (the “Preference Shares” or “previously-held equity interest”) in Inivata in May 2020, at which time the Company also acquired a fixed price option to purchase the remainder of equity interests in Inivata for $390 million (the “Purchase Option”). The Company and Inivata also entered into a line of credit agreement in the amount of $15 million (the “Line of Credit”) in May 2020. For further details regarding the previously-held equity investment in Inivata, the Purchase Option and the Line of Credit, please refer to Note 7. Investment in Non-Consolidated Affiliate. The Inivata acquisition adds liquid biopsy platform technology, including minimal residual disease testing capabilities, to the Company’s comprehensive portfolio of oncology testing solutions.
The purchase price consisted of cash consideration of $398.6 million, which included a net adjustment of $8.6 million for estimated cash on hand of Inivata and other adjustments on the Inivata Acquisition Date, and was funded through cash on hand and a private placement of equity. For further information regarding the private placement of equity, please refer to Note 9. Equity Transactions.
Prior to the acquisition of the remaining equity interests in Inivata, the Company accounted for its previously-held equity interest and the Purchase Option in Inivata as equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. The equity interests were recorded at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Therefore, the Company’s acquisition of control of Inivata on the Inivata Acquisition Date was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages under the acquisition method. Accordingly, the Company used a discounted cash flow to derive a business enterprise value of Inivata in order to determine the acquisition-date fair value of the Company’s previously-held equity interest and Purchase Option in Inivata. To determine the fair value of the previously-held equity interest, the fair value of Inivata’s total equity was allocated to its various classes of equity based on the respective rights and privileges of each class of stock in liquidation. The business enterprise value and a Black-Scholes model was then used to determine the fair value of the remaining equity acquired through the exercise of the Purchase Option. The Purchase Option was recorded at the fair value at the Inivata Acquisition Date based on its settlement value. This resulted in fair values of $64.9 million in Preference Shares and a $74.3 million Purchase Option, immediately prior to the acquisition. On the Inivata Acquisition Date, the $10.3 million outstanding under the Line of Credit extended by the Company to Inivata was effectively settled as part of the acquisition of Inivata at the $15 million principal amount and was recorded as part of the consideration transferred in the acquisition. The Company recorded a gain on investment in and loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate, net, within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations of $109.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, including a measurement period adjustment of $17.8 million recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2021, for the excess of the acquisition-date fair value of the Company’s previously-held equity interest, Purchase Option, and Line of Credit over their carrying values. For further details regarding the previously-held equity investment and purchase option in Inivata, please refer to Note 7. Investment in Non-Consolidated Affiliate.
The fair value and allocation of the business combination are preliminary, are based upon management’s best estimates and assumptions, and are subject to future revision. The following table summarizes the preliminary calculation of goodwill based on the excess of the estimated fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair value of the Line of Credit, and the estimated fair value of the previously-held equity interest and Purchase Option, over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Inivata Acquisition Date and includes measurement period adjustments recorded during the third quarter of 2021 (in thousands):

(1) Measurement period adjustment primarily relates to a change in estimated taxes based on jurisdictions in which forecasted profits are expected to be generated.
(2) Measurement period adjustment relates to the recognition of a credit which Inivata is entitled to claim for certain research and development expenditures
(3) Measurement period adjustment relates to a change in estimated deferred income tax liabilities as a result of the reduction in the amounts for intangibles assets and related future amortization.
Due to the timing of the acquisition, the following are considered preliminary and are subject to change:
•amounts for intangible assets, property and equipment, other current assets, current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities pending finalization of the valuation;
•amounts for income tax liabilities, pending finalization of estimates and assumptions in respect of certain tax aspects of the transaction;
•amount of goodwill pending the completion of the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the reporting unit allocation of the goodwill; and
•the acquisition-date fair value of the Company’s previously-held equity interest, Purchase Option, and the Line of Credit, and the gain on investment in and loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate.
The Company will finalize these amounts no later than one year from the acquisition date, once it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement process. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date may result in adjustments to the preliminary amounts disclosed above which may impact the reported results in the period those adjustments are identified.
The identified developed technology intangible assets and the trademark intangible assets are both being amortized over fifteen years , and the trade name intangible asset is being amortized over five years , based on their estimated useful lives. The

weighted-average amortization period in total for all classes of intangible assets from the Inivata acquisition is 14.9 years. The developed technology was valued using the income approach, specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method, which measures the after-tax cash flows attributable to the developed technology. The trademarks and trade name assets were valued using the income approach, specifically, the relief from royalty method, which measures the cash flow streams attributable to the trademarks and trade name assets in the form of the avoided royalty payment that would be paid to the owner in return for the rights to use the trademarks and trade name assets had the assets not been acquired. The values of the identifiable intangible assets represent Level 3 measurements as they were based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions used in pricing the assets at fair value. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.
The goodwill recognized, of which $237.3 million and $32.8 million is assigned to the Clinical Services and Pharma Services segments, respectively, was primarily attributable to expected synergies of the combined businesses and the acquisition of an assembled workforce knowledgeable of liquid biopsy technology for oncology testing. The recording of amortizable intangibles has given rise to a deferred tax liability upon the acquisition of Inivata which increased goodwill by $61.3 million. No ne of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Inivata is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Acquisition and integration costs related to Inivata were approximately $1.5 million and $11.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and are reported as general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no such amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The results of operations of Inivata are included in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on the Inivata Acquisition Date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenue related to Inivata was $0.7 million, all of which was recorded in Pharma Services revenue.

These unaudited pro forma results represent the combined results of operations of the Company and Inivata, on an unaudited pro forma basis, for the period in which the acquisition of Inivata occurred and the prior reporting period as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma consolidated results have been prepared by adjusting the Company’s historical results to include the acquisition of Inivata as if it occurred on January 1, 2020. Acquisition-related transaction costs incurred by Inivata of $11 million are included in net loss as if incurred on January 1, 2020. Acquisition-related transaction and retention costs incurred by the Company of $11.7 million are included in net loss as if incurred on January 1, 2020. These unaudited pro forma consolidated historical results exclude $17.8 million of measurement period adjustments recorded in three months ended September 30, 2021 and $109.3 million of gain on investment in and loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate, net, recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy has been established based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including its marketable securities and certain cash equivalents. The Company considers all securities available-for-sale, including those with maturity dates beyond 12 months, and therefore these securities are classified within current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are available to support current operational liquidity needs. The money market accounts are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The marketable securities are generally valued based on other observable inputs for those securities (including market corroborated pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves) based on information provided by independent third-party pricing entities, except for U.S. Treasury securities which are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.
The following tables set forth the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair values of the Company’s marketable securities accounted for as available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and other current assets and liabilities, are considered reasonable estimates of their respective fair values at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 due to their short-term nature.
The Company also measures certain non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily intangible assets, goodwill, and long-lived assets in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment. The Company estimates the fair value of these assets using primarily unobservable inputs and, as such, these are considered Level 3 fair value measurements.

Note 7. Investment in Non-Consolidated Affiliate
On May 22, 2020, the Company formed a strategic alliance with Inivata, and entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement and Laboratory Services Agreement with Inivata’s laboratory subsidiary in the U.S., Inivata, Inc., whereas Inivata’s laboratory rendered and performed certain laboratory testing which the Company made available to customers. The terms and conditions of the Laboratory Services Agreement were consistent with those that would be negotiated between willing parties on an arm’s length basis. For additional details on amounts paid related to the Laboratory Services Agreement, please refer to Note 15. Related Party Transactions.
In addition to the Laboratory Services Agreement, the Company also entered into an Investment Agreement with Inivata (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company acquired the Preference Shares for $25 million in cash resulting in a minority interest in Inivata’s outstanding equity and an Option Deed which provided the Company with a Purchase Option to purchase Inivata. The Investment Agreement also granted the Company one seat on Inivata’s Board of Directors. On June 18, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining equity interests in Inivata. For further details regarding the acquisition of Inivata, please refer to Note 3. Acquisitions.
Prior to the Inivata Acquisition Date, Inivata was determined to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the Company’s investment was under 20% of the total equity outstanding. The Company considered qualitative factors in assessing the primary beneficiary of the VIE which included understanding the purpose and design of the VIE, associated risks that the VIE created, activities that could be directed by the Company, and the expected relative impact of those activities on the economic performance of the VIE. Based on an evaluation of these factors, the Company concluded that it was not the primary beneficiary of Inivata prior to the Inivata Acquisition Date.
Prior to the Inivata Acquisition Date, the power to control the activities that most significantly impacted Inivata’s economic performance was the sole responsibility of Inivata’s management and Board of Directors; however, the Company did have significant influence over Inivata. As the Preference Shares were determined to not be in-substance common stock, and because the Preference Shares and the Purchase Option did not have readily determinable fair values, prior to the Inivata Acquisition Date, the Company elected to measure the Preference Shares and the Purchase Option at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
On May 22, 2020, the initial $25 million cost and $0.6 million of associated transaction costs was allocated between the Preference Shares and the Purchase Option based on the relative fair value of each and was recorded as investment in non-consolidated affiliate on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The initial relative fair value of the investment in non-consolidated affiliate was comprised of $19.6 million in Preference Shares and a $6 million Purchase Option. The Preference Shares were valued by determining the equity value of Inivata using the Backsolve Method and allocating the value of the Preference Shares

(unaudited)
using the Option-Pricing Method and the inputs used included the equity value based on the Series C1 capital raised by Inivata, a volatility rate of 84 %, a risk-free interest rate of 0.17 % and 0 % dividend yield. The Purchase Option was valued using the Black-Scholes model with a volatility rate of 84 %, a risk-free interest rate of 0.17 % and 0 % dividend yield.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, an observable transaction of an identical investment in the Preference Shares occurred. This resulted in a remeasurement of the Preference Shares to the value of this observable transaction. The Purchase Option was also remeasured at fair value as a result of this observable transaction. As a result of these remeasurements, at December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the investment in non-consolidated affiliate was $29.6 million, comprised of $25 million in Preference Shares and a $4.6 million Purchase Option. The Company recorded a net unrealized gain of $4 million for these remeasurements for the year ended December 31, 2020 in other expense (income), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. At December 31, 2020, the Purchase Option was valued using the Black-Scholes model with a volatility rate of 84 %, a risk-free interest rate of 0.17 % and 0 % dividend yield.
On May 22, 2020, the Company and Inivata also entered into the Line of Credit in the amount of $15 million. In January 2021, the Line of Credit, in its entirety, was drawn by Inivata and recorded as a loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior to the Inivata Acquisition Date, the Line of Credit contractually matured on December 1, 2025 and the unpaid principal balance was payable on January 1, 2026 and bore interest at 0 % per annum. In January 2021, upon the draw of the Line of Credit by Inivata, the Company used an imputed interest rate of 8.33 % to present value the Line of Credit. The Company recorded an imputed interest rate discount of $5 million on the loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate and an additional investment in non-consolidated affiliate of $5 million, resulting in a $10 million present value of the loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate and increasing the value of the Preference Shares to $30 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 through the Inivata Acquisition Date $0.4 million of interest income was amortized to the loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate. There were no such amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The interest income amortization is recorded in interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In the first quarter of 2021, subsequent to Inivata’s draw on the Line of Credit, an observable transaction of an identical investment in Inivata Preference Shares occurred. This resulted in a remeasurement of the Preference Shares to the value of this observable transaction. The Company recorded a net unrealized loss of $5 million for this remeasurement for the three months ended March 31, 2021 in other expense (income), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2021, the carrying value of the investment in non-consolidated affiliate was $29.6 million, comprised of $25 million in Preference Shares and a $4.6 million Purchase Option.
On the Inivata Acquisition Date, the Company acquired all of the remaining equity interests of Inivata through the exercise of its Purchase Option. The Company’s carrying value of the investment in non-consolidated affiliate was $29.6 million, comprised of $25 million in Preference Shares and a $4.6 million Purchase Option immediately prior to obtaining the remaining ownership of Inivata. The Company’s acquisition of control of Inivata on the Inivata Acquisition Date was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages under the acquisition method. Accordingly, the Company remeasured its Preference Shares and Purchase Option to their acquisition-date fair values. The Company used a discounted cash flow to derive a business enterprise value of Inivata in order to determine the acquisition-date fair value of the Company’s Preference Shares and the Purchase Option. To determine the fair value of the Preference Shares, the fair value of equity was allocated to the various classes based on the respective rights and privileges of each class of stock in liquidation. The business enterprise value and a Black-Scholes model was then used to determine the fair value of the remaining equity acquired through the exercise of the Purchase Option. The Purchase Option was recorded at fair value at the Inivata Acquisition Date based on its settlement value. This resulted in fair values of $64.9 million in Preference Shares and a $74.3 million Purchase Option, immediately prior to the acquisition, resulting in a gain of $109.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, including a measurement period adjustment of $17.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. On the Inivata Acquisition Date, the $10.3 million outstanding under the Line of Credit extended by the Company to Inivata was effectively settled as part of the acquisition of Inivata at the $15 million principal amount and was recorded as part of the consideration transferred in the acquisition resulting in a gain of $4.7 million. The Company recorded a total gain on investment in and loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate, net, within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations of $109.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, including a measurement period adjustment of $17.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, for the excess of the acquisition-date fair value of the Company’s Preference Shares, Purchase Option, and Line of Credit over their carrying values. For further details regarding the acquisition of Inivata, please refer to Note 3. Acquisitions.

There was no such estimated fair value as of December 31, 2020 related to the 0.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2028. At December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value (Level 2) of the 1.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 was $320.9 million. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s equipment financing obligations approximated fair value based on the current market conditions for similar instruments.
2028 Convertible Senior Notes
On January 11, 2021, the Company completed the sale of $345 million of Convertible Senior Notes with a stated interest rate of 0.25 % and a maturity date of January 15, 2028 (the “2028 Convertible Notes”), unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The 2028 Convertible Notes were issued at a discounted price of 97 % of their principal amount. The total net proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Convertible Notes and exercise of the Over-allotment Option was approximately $334.4 million, which includes approximately $10.6 million of discounts, commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company. On January 11, 2021, the Company entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”), with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), governing the 2028 Convertible Notes. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the Offerings to enter into capped call transactions (as described below under the heading “Capped Call Transactions”).
Prior to September 15, 2027, noteholders may convert their 2028 Convertible Notes at their option, only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130 % of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98 % of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after September 15, 2027 until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date, noteholders may convert their 2028 Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock was not greater than or equal to 130 % of the conversion price of the 2028 Convertible Notes on at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock was not greater than or equal to 130 % of the conversion price of the 2028 Convertible Notes on at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Based on the terms of the 2028 Convertible Notes, the holders could not have converted all or a portion of their 2028 Convertible Notes in the third quarter of 2021. When a conversion notice is received, the Company has the option to pay or deliver cash, shares of

the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof. As the Company is not required to settle the 2028 Convertible Notes in cash, the 2028 Convertible Notes are classified as long-term debt as of September 30, 2021.
Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate for the 2028 Convertible Notes is 15.1172 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $66.15 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date as described in the Indenture, the Company will pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2028 Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances. The value of the 2028 Convertible Notes, if-converted, does not exceed the principal amount based on a closing stock price of $48.24 on September 30, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company excluded 5,215,434 and 5,100,809 shares, respectively, in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the if-converted impact of the 2028 Convertible Notes in the diluted net (loss) income per share calculation as the shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. For further details on the impact of the 2028 Convertible Notes on net (loss) income per share please refer to Note 12. Net (Loss) Income Per Share.
The Company may not redeem the 2028 Convertible Notes prior to January 20, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after January 20, 2025 if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130 % of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of notice by the Company of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2028 Convertible Notes.
If an event involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the 2028 Convertible Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable. If any other default event occurs and is continuing, then noteholders of at least 25 % of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the 2028 Convertible Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. If the Company undergoes a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture), then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2028 Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the Indenture).
The 2028 Convertible Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and will be equal in right of payment with its existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to its existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the 2028 Convertible Notes and effectively junior to its existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The 2028 Convertible Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of its subsidiaries.
The interest expense recognized on the 2028 Convertible Notes includes $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $8,400 for the contractual coupon interest, the amortization of the debt discount and the amortization of the debt issuance costs, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The interest expense recognized on the 2028 Convertible Notes includes $0.6 million, $1 million and $23,700 for the contractual coupon interest, the amortization of the debt discount and the amortization of the debt issuance costs, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. There were no such amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The effective interest rate on the 2028 Convertible Notes is 0.70 %, which includes the interest on the 2028 Convertible Notes and amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs. The 2028 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.25 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2021.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the 2028 Convertible Notes offering, on January 11, 2021, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “Capped Call Transactions”) with option counterparties pursuant to capped call confirmations at a cost of approximately $29.3 million. As the Capped Call Transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Capped Call Transactions were classified as equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and were recorded as a reduction of the Company’s additional paid-in capital in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The Capped Call Transactions are not part of the terms of the 2028 Convertible Notes and will not affect any holders’ rights under the 2028 Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the 2028 Convertible Notes. The number of shares underlying the Capped Call Transactions is 5.2 million.

The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions is initially $85.75 per share of the Company’s common stock, which represents a premium of 75 % over the public offering price of the common stock in the 2021 Common Stock Offering, which was $49.00 per share, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions.
By entering into the Capped Call Transactions, the Company expects to reduce the potential dilution to its common stock (or, in the event a conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes is settled in cash, to reduce its cash payment obligation) in the event that, at the time of conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes, its common stock price exceeds the conversion price of the 2028 Convertible Notes.
2025 Convertible Senior Notes
On May 4, 2020, the Company completed the sale of $201.3 million of Convertible Senior Notes with a stated interest rate of 1.25 % and a maturity date of May 1, 2025 (the “2025 Convertible Notes”), unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The 2025 Convertible Notes were issued at a discounted price of 97 % of their principal amount. The total net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes and exercise of the Over-allotment Option was approximately $194.5 million, which includes approximately $6.9 million of discounts, commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company. On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”), with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), governing the 2025 Convertible Notes.
Prior to February 1, 2025, noteholders may convert their 2025 Convertible Notes at their option, only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130 % of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98 % of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after February 1, 2025 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, noteholders may convert their 2025 Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock was not greater than or equal to 130 % of the conversion price of the 2025 Convertible Notes on at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock was not greater than or equal to 130 % of the conversion price of the 2025 Convertible Notes on at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Based on the terms of the 2025 Convertible Notes, the holders could not have converted all or a portion of their 2025 Convertible Notes in the third quarter of 2021. When a conversion notice is received, the Company has the option to pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof. As the Company is not required to settle the 2025 Convertible Notes in cash, the 2025 Convertible Notes are classified as long-term debt as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not received any conversion notices.
Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate for the 2025 Convertible Notes is 27.5198 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amounts of 2025 Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $36.34 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date as described in the Indenture, the Company will pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2025 Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances. The value of the 2025 Convertible Notes, if-converted, exceeds the principal amount by $65.9 million based on a closing stock price of $48.24 on September 30, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company excluded 5,538,360 shares in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the if-converted impact of the 2025 Convertible Notes in the diluted net (loss) income per share calculation as the shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company included 5,538,360 shares in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the if-converted impact of the 2025 Convertible Notes in the diluted net (loss) income per share calculation as the shares would have a dilutive effect. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company excluded 3,112,801 shares, respectively, in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the if-converted impact of the 2025 Convertible Notes in the diluted net (loss) income per share calculation as the shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. For further details on the impact of the 2025 Convertible Notes on net (loss) income per share please refer to Note 12. Net (Loss) Income Per Share.
The Company may not redeem the 2025 Convertible Notes prior to May 6, 2023. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2025 Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after May 6, 2023 if the last reported sale price of its common stock

has been at least 130 % of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of notice by the Company of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Convertible Notes.
If an event involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the 2025 Convertible Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable. If any other default event occurs and is continuing, then noteholders of at least 25 % of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the 2025 Convertible Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. If the Company undergoes a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture), then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2025 Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the Indenture).
The 2025 Convertible Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and will be equal in right of payment with its existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to its existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the 2025 Convertible Notes and effectively junior to its existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The 2025 Convertible Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of its subsidiaries.
The interest expense recognized on the 2025 Convertible Notes includes $0.6 million, $0.3 million and $36,500 for the contractual coupon interest, the amortization of the debt discount and the amortization of the debt issuance costs, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The interest expense recognized on the 2025 Convertible Notes includes $1.9 million, $0.9 million and $0.1 million for the contractual coupon interest, the amortization of the debt discount and the amortization of the debt issuance costs, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The interest expense recognized on the 2025 Convertible Notes included $0.6 million, $1.8 million and $25,600 for the contractual coupon interest, the accretion of the debt discount and the amortization of the debt issuance costs, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The interest expense recognized on the 2025 Convertible Notes includes $1 million, $2.7 million and $44,700 , for the contractual coupon interest, the amortization of the debt discount and the amortization of the debt issuance costs, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The effective interest rate on the 2025 Convertible Notes is 1.96 %, which includes the interest on the 2025 Convertible Notes and amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs. The 2025 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.25 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, which began on November 1, 2020.
Equipment 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 2023, and the weighted average interest rate under such loans was approximately 5.07 % as of September 30, 2021 and 4.91 % as of December 31, 2020.

Note 11. Revenue Recognition
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, oncology practices, hospital pathology labs, reference labs, and academic centers with reimbursement from various payers including client direct billing, commercial insurance, Medicare and other government payers, and patients. Due to the broad roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine and a sharp decline in COVID-19 PCR testing demand, the Company made the decision at the end of the first quarter of 2021 to exit from COVID-19 PCR testing, which was part of Clinical Services segment revenues. 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, including 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 90 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 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 and informatics. Revenue for validation studies for which the sole deliverable may be a final report that is sent to sponsors at the completion of contracted activities, is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the final report to the sponsor. Informatics is the sale of de-identified data for which deliverables typically consist of retrospective records, prospective deliveries of data or clinical decision support. Informatics revenue is recognized upon delivery of retrospective data, over time for prospective data feeds and clinical decision support. 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 Sheets. 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.

Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to Pharma contract liability balances outstanding at the beginning of the period was $0.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 related to Pharma contract liability balances outstanding at the beginning of the period was $0.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Amortization of capitalized commissions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Amortization of capitalized commissions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.3 million and $0.6 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 the type of customer due to similarities of billing method, level of reimbursement and timing of cash receipts. Unbilled amounts are accrued and allocated to payer categories based on historical experience. In future periods, actual billings by payer category may differ from accrued amounts. Pharma Services revenue was not further disaggregated as substantially all of the 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.

Note 12. Net (Loss) Income Per Share
The Company presents both basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing “Net (loss) income” by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock awards were exercised and if the 2028 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes were converted. The potential dilution from stock awards is accounted for using the treasury stock method based on the average market value of the Company’s common stock. The potential dilution from conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes is accounted for using the if-converted method, which requires that all of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the 2025 Convertible Notes will be included in the calculation of diluted EPS assuming conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the 2025 Convertible Notes at the beginning of the reporting period (or at time of issuance, if later).
The following table shows the calculations (in thousands, except net (loss) income per share amounts):

(1) This adjustment compensates for the effects of the if-converted impact of convertible notes in net income. Since an entity using the if-converted method assumes that a convertible debt instrument was converted into common shares at the beginning of the reporting period, net income is adjusted to reverse any recognized interest expense (including any amortization of discounts).
The following potential dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):

The potential effect of the Capped Call Transactions entered into concurrently with the 2028 Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as the Company’s closing price on September 30, 2021 did not exceed the conversion price of $85.75 per share. The Capped Call Transactions are not reflected in diluted net (loss) income per share as they are anti-dilutive.

Note 13. Defined Contribution Plans
The Company maintains a defined-contribution 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all U.S. based employees (as defined). The Company's employees may make voluntary contributions to the plan, subject to limitations based on IRS regulations and compensation. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company matches 100 % of every dollar contributed up to 3 % of the respective employee’s compensation and an additional 50 % of every dollar contributed on the next 2 % of compensation (4 % maximum Company match). Matching contributions were approximately $1.4 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $1.1 million and $3.7 million for the corresponding periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and are recorded in cost of revenue and operating expenses.
As of the Inivata Acquisition Date, the Company operates a number of country-specific defined contribution pension plans for its employees and pays matching contributions into a separate entity through Inivata Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Employer contributions are made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective country benefit plan. Employees may make additional contributions in accordance with the prevailing statutory limitations. Once the contributions have been paid, the Company has no further payment obligations. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company and Inivata Limited in independently administered funds. The contributions are recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when they are due. Amounts not paid are accrued as a short-term liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such amounts for the period beginning on the Inivata Acquisition Date through September 30, 2021 were immaterial.

On January 20, 2021, Natera, Inc. filed a patent infringement complaint against the Company’s newly-acquired subsidiary Inivata Limited and its subsidiary Inivata, Inc. in United States District Court for the district of Delaware, alleging Inivata’s InVisionFirst-Lung™ cancer diagnostic test of infringing two patents. The litigation is presently in the pleadings stage. The Company believes that it has good and substantial defenses to the claims alleged in the suit, but there is no guarantee that the Company will prevail. At the time of filing, the outcome of this matter is not estimable or probable.
Regulatory Matter
With the assistance of outside counsel, the Company is voluntarily conducting an internal investigation that focuses on the compliance of certain consulting and service agreements with federal healthcare laws and regulations, including those relating to fraud, waste and abuse. Based on this internal investigation, the Company voluntarily notified the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) of the Company’s internal investigation in November 2021. The Company’s review of this matter is ongoing. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has accrued a reserve of $10.5 million in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for potential damages and liabilities primarily associated with the federal healthcare program revenue received by the Company in connection with the agreements at issue that were identified during the course of this internal investigation. This reserve reflects management’s best estimate of the minimum probable loss associated with this matter. As a result of the ongoing investigation and interactions with regulatory authorities, the Company may accrue additional reserves for any related potential damages and liabilities arising out of this matter. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the duration, scope, result or related costs associated with any further investigation, including by the OIG, or any other governmental authority, or what penalties or remedial actions they may seek. Accordingly, at this time, the Company is unable to estimate a range of possible loss in excess of the amount reserved. Any determination that the Company’s operations or activities are not in compliance with existing laws or regulations, however, could result in the imposition of civil or criminal fines, penalties, disgorgement, restitution, equitable relief, or other losses or conduct restrictions, which could be material to the Company’s financial results or business operations.
Note 15. Related Party Transactions
On May 22, 2020, the Company formed a strategic alliance with Inivata and entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement and Laboratory Services Agreement whereas Inivata, prior to the Inivata Acquisition Date, would render and perform certain laboratory testing which the Company made available to customers. In connection with this agreement, Inivata provided $0.8 million of testing services to the Company recorded in cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, through the Inivata Acquisition Date. Such services provided for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were immaterial.
On May 22, 2020, the Company and Inivata also entered into a Line of Credit in the amount of $15 million. The Company and Inivata settled the Line of Credit after the Inivata Acquisition Date and no amounts were outstanding as of September 30, 2021. For further details on the Line of Credit, please refer to Note 7. Investment in Non-Consolidated Affiliate.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (referred to collectively with its subsidiaries as “NeoGenomics”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” in this Form 10-Q) is the registrant for SEC reporting purposes. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “NEO”.
Introduction
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included herein. The information contained below includes statements of the Company’s or management’s beliefs, expectations, hopes, goals and plans that, if not historical, are forward-looking statements subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion on forward-looking statements, see the information set forth in the introductory note to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements”, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and the disease has since spread across the world, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The outbreak of the pandemic is materially adversely affecting the Company’s employees, patients, communities and business operations, as well as the United States (“U.S.”) economy and financial markets. The full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, including related variants, and the actions to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may continue to be materially adversely affected, particularly if the pandemic persists for a significant amount of time.
The impact from the COVID-19 pandemic and the related disruptions have had a material adverse impact on our results of operations, volume growth rates and test volumes in 2020 and the first nine months of 2021. Demand may fluctuate depending on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume, additional governmental actions that may be taken and/or extensions of time for restrictions that have been imposed to date, and numerous other uncertainties. Such events may result in business disruption and reduced revenues, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We have taken significant actions to protect our employees and maintain a safe environment while ensuring continuity of critical oncology testing for cancer patients. Among other actions, we have de-densified our laboratories and facilities, adjusted laboratory shifts, restricted visitors to facilities, restricted employee travel, implemented an emergency paid time off policy, provided remote work-environment training and support, and managed our supply chains. Importantly, all main laboratory facilities have remained open and there has been an uninterrupted continuity of high-quality testing services for clients. The Company’s top priority remains the health and safety of employees and continued quality and service for all clients with a focus on patient care. We believe that we are positioned to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For additional information on risk factors related to the pandemic or other risks that could impact our results, please refer to the Company’s Form 10-K under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021, and in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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 be the world’s leading cancer testing and information company by delivering uncompromising quality, exceptional service and innovative solutions.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company has laboratory locations in Fort Myers and Tampa, Florida; Aliso Viejo, Carlsbad, and San Diego, California; Research Triangle Park, North Carolina; Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Nashville, Tennessee; Cambridge, United Kingdom; Rolle, Switzerland; and Singapore. We currently offer the following types of testing services:
a.Cytogenetics (“karyotype analysis”) - the study of normal and abnormal chromosomes and their relationship to disease. Cytogenetics 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.
39
NEOGENOMICS, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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”) monitoring.
d.Immunohistochemistry (“IHC”) and Digital Imaging – 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: liquid biopsy tests for advanced non-small cell lung cancer, all solid tumor types (pan-cancer), and certain breast cancer cases; DNA fragment length analysis; polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) analysis; reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (“RT-PCR”) analysis, real-time (or quantitative) polymerase chain reaction (“qPCR”) analysis; bi-directional Sanger sequencing analysis; and next-generation sequencing (“NGS”) analysis.
f.Morphologic analysis – 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 from 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 a second opinion. In the latter setting, the expert pathologists at NeoGenomics assist our client pathologists on some of 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, reference labs, and academic centers can empower them to expand their breadth of testing to provide a menu of services that could match or exceed 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.
NeoGenomics is a leading provider of Molecular and NGS testing. These tests are interpreted by NeoGenomics’ team of Molecular experts and are often ordered in conjunction with other testing modalities. NGS panels are one of our fastest growing testing areas and clients can often receive a significant amount of biomarker information from very limited samples. These comprehensive panels can allow for faster treatment decisions for patients as compared to a series of single-gene molecular tests being ordered sequentially. NeoGenomics has one of the broadest Molecular menus in the industry and our targeted NeoTYPE panels include genes relevant to a particular cancer type, as well as other complementary tests such as IHC and
40
NEOGENOMICS, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISH. This comprehensive menu means that NeoGenomics can be a “one-stop shop” for our clients who can get all of their oncology testing needs satisfied by our laboratory. This is attractive to our clients as patient samples do not need to be split and then managed across several laboratories. NeoGenomics expects our Molecular laboratory and NGS capabilities to be a key growth driver in the coming years.
In addition, we directly serve oncology, dermatology and other clinician practices that prefer to have a direct relationship with a laboratory for cancer-related genetic testing services. We typically serve these types of clients with a comprehensive service offering where we perform both the technical and professional components of the tests ordered. In certain instances, larger clinician practices have begun to internalize pathology interpretation services, and 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 revenue consists of three revenue streams:
•Clinical trials and research;
•Validation laboratory services; and
•Informatics.
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 provides 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-clinical and non-clinical work, we can use our platforms to characterize markers of interest. Moving from discovery to development, we seek to 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 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.
We believe that NeoGenomics is well positioned to service Pharma sponsors across the full continuum of the drug development process. Our Pharma Services team can work with them during the basic research and development phase as compounds come out of translational research departments as well as work with clients from Phase 1 clinical trials through Phases II and III as the sponsors work to prove the efficacy of their drugs. The laboratory biomarker tests that are developed during this process may become companion diagnostic (“CDx”) tests that will be used on patients to determine if they could respond to a certain therapy. NeoGenomics is able to offer these CDx tests to the market immediately after FDA approval as part of our Day 1 readiness program. This ability helps to speed the commercialization of their drug and can enable Pharma sponsors to reach patients through NeoGenomics broad distribution channel in the Clinical Services segment.
We are continuing to develop and broaden our informatics and data-related tools to leverage our unique market position and oncology expertise to help our stakeholders solve real-world problems such as identifying patients for clinical trials or providing clinical decision support tools for physicians and providers. We are committed to connecting patients with life altering therapies and trials. In carrying out these commitments, we aim to provide transparency and choice to patients regarding the handling and use of their data through our Notice of Privacy Practices, and have invested in leading technologies to seek to ensure the data we maintain is secured at all times.
2021 Focus Areas:
We are committed to sustainable growth while being an innovative leader in our industry. Our focus for 2021 includes initiatives to drive consistent and profitable growth while pursuing innovation and maintaining exceptional service levels. We
41

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
expect these initiatives to allow the Company to continue on its path to become one of the world’s leading cancer testing and information company.
Strengthen Our World-Class Culture
Fortifying our culture to closely align with the values of our Company is a key priority. We will invest in the development of our people by creating mentoring, coaching 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 and are imperative to providing a meaningful work experience for our employees.
We value the health of our employees and want them to perform at their best, personally and professionally. We actively promote the health and well-being of our employees and recognize that overall health goes beyond greater health benefits and preventative care and includes a variety of areas such as physical, emotional and financial health. We provide a variety of programs to promote the improvement of our employees’ health in these and other areas.
Building a resilient, sustainable organization is central to the success of our Company. Our focus is on expanding our purpose to extend beyond the organization to include all stakeholders. This includes the communities we serve and our society as a whole. We build our talent through coaching and mentoring programs to meet the demands of our critical work of the future and our leadership needs. We seek to partner within our communities to remove barriers and sponsor educational opportunities needed to meet our highly-skilled workforce demands.
Continue to Provide Uncompromising Quality and Exceptional Service
Maintaining the highest quality laboratory operations and service levels has helped us to consistently grow our business. We are continuously looking for ways to improve quality and implement best practices to streamline processes. We are focused on increasing automation with solutions that we expect will maintain quality while improving efficiency in operations.
We will continue to grow a culture of quality through our leadership, coaching and employee training initiatives. We aim to empower our employees to deliver high-quality results in their respective functions. We will implement initiatives to measure and improve turnaround times while maintaining a culture of quality, which we expect will continue to meet or exceed our customers’ expectations.
Pursue Innovation and Growth
Our plans for 2021 include initiatives to continue to drive sustainable growth and innovation. We will continue to pursue market share gains by providing high complexity, cancer-related laboratory testing services to hospitals, community-based pathology and oncology practices, academic centers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, we will focus on continued reimbursement effectiveness through improving coverage, streamlining processes, and providing clients more efficient, automated ordering methods, which we believe will continue to fuel our growth and market share.
Our laboratory and informatics teams will continue to focus on new assays and product offerings, including liquid biopsy, MRD and other high-quality tests. We expect this to enhance our strategic position while enabling us to maintain our high levels of client retention.
Our broad and innovative test menu of molecular, including NGS, IHC, and other testing 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 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. We are also focused on investing in business development and informatics capabilities to partner with our key stakeholders, including patients, providers, payers, and pharmaceutical companies to provide solutions to current or near-term problems that they face.
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 differentiates 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 by our Clinical Services segment is a competitive strength and a driver of additional testing requests by 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
42
NEOGENOMICS, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
options. Additionally, we believe that our rapid turnaround time on testing and our project milestones are a key differentiator in our Pharma Services segment.
World-class Medical and Scientific Team
Our team of medical professionals and Ph.Ds. are specialists in the field of genetics, oncology and pathology. As of September 30, 2021, we employed or contracted with approximately 135 M.D.s and Ph.Ds. 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.
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 their testing results. 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.
We believe we have one of the broadest Molecular and Next Generation Sequencing test menus in the world. Clients have the ability to order single gene molecular tests, targeted NeoTYPE panels that include the relevant actionable genes for a particular cancer type as well as large NGS panels. Our Pharma Services Division offers a full range of sequencing testing including whole exome and whole genome sequencing. Our menu enables us to be a true “one-stop shop” for our clients as we can meet all of their oncology testing needs.
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 nine regions - Northeast, Southeast, South Central, Great Lakes, Midwest, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, Florida, and Capital. 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 I, II and III 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 Services (“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. Our sales force educates clients on new test offerings and their proper utilization and our representatives are often seen as trusted advisors by our clients.
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.
In our Pharma Services segment, we enter into both short-term and long-term contracts, ranging from one month to several years. While the volume of this testing is not as directly affected by seasonality as described above, the testing volume does
43
NEOGENOMICS, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
vary based on the terms of the contract. Our volumes are often based on how quickly sponsors can get patient enrollees for their trials and seasonality can impact how quickly they can get patients enrolled. Many of our long-term contracts contain specific performance obligations where the testing is performed on a specific schedule. This results in revenue that is not consistent among periods. In addition, this results in backlog that can be significant.

Clinical testing volume(1) increased by approximately 6.8% and 14.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. The increase in Clinical Services revenue from these Clinical testing volume(1) increases were partially offset by a decrease in COVID-19 PCR testing revenue for the same periods. The Company exited its COVID-19 PCR testing in March 2021 and had no COVID-19 PCR testing revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $1.6 million of COVID-19 PCR testing revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had $17 million and $18.9 million of COVID-19 PCR testing revenue, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Due to the broad roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine and a sharp decline in the demand for COVID-19 PCR testing, we made the decision at the end of the first quarter 2021 to exit from COVID-19 PCR testing which was included in Clinical Services segment revenue. The Clinical division’s continued focus is its broad and innovative testing menu as well as any future new product offerings.
Pharma Services revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $2.4 million and $15.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. In addition, our backlog of signed contracts has continued to grow from $208.9 million as of December 31, 2020 to $261 million as of September 30, 2021. We expect this backlog to result in higher revenues in future quarters.
The following table shows Clinical revenue, cost of revenue, requisitions received and tests performed for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, excluding requisitions, tests, revenue and costs of revenue for Pharma Services and COVID-19 PCR tests. Testing revenue and cost of revenue are presented in thousands below:

Average revenue per test increased 4.5% and 1.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2020.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Cost of revenue includes payroll and payroll related costs for performing tests, maintenance and depreciation of laboratory equipment, rent for laboratory facilities, laboratory reagents, probes and supplies, and delivery and courier costs relating to the transportation of specimens to be tested.
Average cost per clinical test increased 3.0% and decreased 1.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2020, reflecting volume fluctuations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the fixed nature of many of our laboratory costs. In 2020, we did not reduce our workforce due to temporary declines in volume related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Clinical Services cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes $5 million of amortization of acquired Inivata developed technology intangible assets and write-offs of $5.3 million for COVID-19 PCR testing inventory. Pharma Services cost of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes $0.5 million of amortization of acquired Inivata developed technology intangible assets.
Consolidated cost of revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 due to increases in supplies expense due to higher volume, write-offs related to our exit from COVID-19 PCR testing, and payroll related costs. Gross profit margin decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same periods in 2020 as a result of the combined effect of lower testing volume due to the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fixed nature of many of our laboratory costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of payroll and payroll related costs for our executive, billing, finance, human resources, information technology, and other administrative personnel, as well as stock-based compensation. We also allocate professional services, facilities expense, IT infrastructure costs, depreciation, amortization and other administrative-related costs to general and administrative expenses.
Consolidated general and administrative expenses are as follows:

General and administrative expenses increased $27.7 million and $51.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2020. These increases primarily reflected acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisitions of Inivata and Trapelo, a loss contingency for the regulatory matter, an increase in payroll and payroll-related costs due to increases in personnel to support our near and long-term growth, and an increase in professional fees.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses relate to costs of developing new proprietary and non-proprietary genetic tests, including payroll and payroll related costs, maintenance of laboratory equipment, laboratory supplies (reagents), and outside consultants and experts assisting our research and development team.

Research and development expenses increased $5.4 million and $7.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020. These increases were driven by investments in new test development and FDA initiatives.
We anticipate research and development expenditures will significantly increase in future quarters as we continue to invest in development costs for innovation projects and bringing new tests to market.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses are primarily attributable to employee-related costs including sales management, sales representatives, sales and marketing consultants, and marketing and customer service personnel.
Consolidated sales and marketing expenses for the periods presented are as follows:

As a % of revenue | 12.9 | % | 9.0 | % | 13.0 | % | 10.9 | % |
Sales and marketing expenses increased $4.4 million and $11.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2020. These increases primarily reflect 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 our sales representatives continue generating new business in both of our business segments. We expect our sales and marketing expenses over the long term to align with changes in revenue.
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense decreased $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. Interest expense reflects the effective interest rate on the 2028 Convertible Notes and the 2025 Convertible Notes which is 0.70% and 1.96%, respectively. Interest on the 2028 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes began accruing upon issuance and is payable semi-annually. For further details regarding the convertible notes, please refer to Note 8. Debt, in the accompanying notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Gain on Investment In and Loan Receivable from Non-Consolidated Affiliate, Net
The Company recorded a gain on investment in and loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate, net, within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations of $17.8 million and $109.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, for the excess of the acquisition-date fair value of the Company’s previously-held equity interest, Purchase Option, and Line of Credit over their carrying values. There were no such amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. For further details regarding the previously-held equity investment, purchase option in Inivata and the related gain, please refer to Note 3. Acquisitions and Note 7.

(4) This adjustment compensates for the effects of the if-converted impact of convertible notes in net income. Since an entity using the if-converted method assumes that a convertible debt instrument was converted into common shares at the beginning of the reporting period, net income is adjusted to reverse any recognized interest expense (including any amortization of discounts).
Non-GAAP Measures
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial results and financial guidance include the use of 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 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 business. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may assist investors in evaluating the operating results and future prospects. 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 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 recorded costs against its net revenue. In addition, the 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 (loss) income from continuing operations before: (i) interest expense, (ii) tax (benefit) or expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (v) acquisition and integration related expenses, (vi) write-off of COVID-19 PCR testing inventory and equipment, (vii) new headquarters moving expenses, (viii) gain on investment in and loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate, net, (ix) loss contingency for regulatory matter, and (x) other significant or non-operating (income) or expenses, net.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $6.9 million, consisting of net income of $33.4 million less adjustments to the net income of $45.1 million. Included in net income was $13.3 million of acquisition and integration costs. Included in the adjustments to the net income was $109.3 million of realized net gain on investment in and loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate and $6.1 million of write-offs of COVID-19 PCR testing inventory and equipment related to the exit from COVID-19 PCR testing. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in amounts funded for the development of our new headquarters and other prepaid assets, an increase in loss

contingency for the regulatory matter and an increase in accrued payroll liabilities due to increases in personnel. These increases were offset by a decrease in accounts receivable, net, due to timing of cash receipts and a decrease in inventory due to COVID-19 PCR testing inventory write-offs in the first quarter of 2021.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in investing activities was $622.8 million, an increase of approximately $492.2 million compared to the same period in 2020. This was due to $419.4 million of net cash used for the acquisitions of Inivata and Trapelo as well as net investments in marketable securities of $136.2 million, $52.2 million of cash used for capital expenditures and the disbursement of a $15 million loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash provided by financing activities was $722.8 million compared to $227.3 million in the same period in 2020. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 consisted of $408.1 million of net proceeds from equity offerings, convertible debt proceeds of $334.4 million, net of issuance costs and $12.1 million for the net issuance of common stock. This activity was offset by the use of cash in the amounts of $29.3 million for premiums paid for capped call confirmations and $2.5 million for the net repayment of equipment financing obligations.
Liquidity Outlook
We had $340.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 in addition to $202.1 million of marketable securities available to support current operational liquidity needs. We anticipate that the cash on hand, marketable securities and cash collections are sufficient to fund our near-term capital and operating needs for at least the next 12 months. Operating needs include, but are not limited to, the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures, continued research and development efforts, and potential strategic acquisitions and investments.
On January 6, 2021, we entered into an underwriting agreement relating to the issuance and sale of 4,081,632 shares of our common stock (the “2021 Common Stock Offering”), $0.001 par value per share. The price to the public in this offering was $49.00 per share and we agreed to sell the shares to the Underwriters at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commission of $2.45 per share. Under the terms of the underwriting agreement, we also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 612,244 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On January 6, 2021, the Underwriters exercised their option and purchased all 612,244 shares. The net proceeds from the 2021 Common Stock Offering and full exercise of the Underwriters’ option were approximately $218.3 million, net of underwriting commissions of approximately $11.7 million.
On January 11, 2021, we completed the sale of $345 million of 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due January 2028 (the “2028 Convertible Notes”), including the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional $45 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes (the “2028 Over-allotment Option”) on the same terms and conditions, solely to cover over-allotments with respect to the 2028 Convertible Notes offering. The total net proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the total exercise of the 2028 Over-allotment Option was approximately $334.4 million, which includes approximately $10.6 million of discounts, commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company. For further details regarding the 2028 Convertible Notes, please refer to Note 8. Debt, in the accompanying notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
We used $29.3 million of the net proceeds from the offerings to enter into capped call transactions. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds from the offerings for general corporate purposes and/or to acquire or invest in complementary businesses and technologies.
On June 18, 2021, we completed a private placement (“Private Placement”) to certain accredited investors of an aggregate of 4,444,445 shares of our common stock at a price of $45.00 per share. The net proceeds from the Private Placement were approximately $189.9 million, after deducting fees to the placement agents and other offering expenses of approximately $10.1 million. We used the net proceeds from the Private Placement for the acquisition of Inivata.
We anticipate that the cash on hand, marketable securities and cash collections are sufficient to fund our near-term capital and operating needs for at least the next 12 months. Operating needs include, but are not limited to, the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures, continued research and development efforts, and potential strategic acquisitions and investments.

Capital Expenditures
We 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 capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2021 will be in the range of $60 million to $75 million, including capital expenditures related to Trapelo and Inivata. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we purchased, with cash, approximately $52.2 million of capital equipment, software and leasehold improvements. We have funded and plan to continue funding these capital expenditures with cash and financing.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Please refer to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the accompanying notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete description of our significant accounting policies.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2021, we do not use or have special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet financing techniques that we believe have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

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 risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our short-term investments. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we invest in highly liquid and high-quality U.S. government and other highly credit rated debt securities. To minimize our exposure due to adverse shifts in interest rates, we invest in short-term securities with short maturities. If a 1% change in interest rates were to have occurred on September 30, 2021, this change would not have had a material effect on the fair value of our investment portfolio as of that date. Due to the short holding period of our investments, we have concluded that we do not have a material financial market risk exposure.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We have operations in Cambridge, United Kingdom; Rolle, Switzerland; Suzhou, China; and Singapore. Our international revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies (primarily British Pounds, Swiss Francs, Chinese Renminbi and Singapore Dollars) expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. We do not hedge foreign currency exchange risks and do not currently believe that these risks are significant.
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.
As required by SEC Rule 15d-15, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On July 1, 2021, we shifted from our existing Great Plains Dynamics enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system to a hosted, cloud-based Oracle ERP system (“Oracle”). In connection with the Oracle implementation, we performed pre-implementation planning, design and testing of internal controls that became effective in the third quarter of 2021. We continue to conduct post-implementation monitoring and process modifications in order to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time the Company is engaged in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. For further information on legal proceedings, please refer to Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies, in the notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors are in addition to the risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021. The effects of the events and circumstances described in the following risk factors may heighten the risks contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We may be unable to make, on a timely basis, necessary changes to our internal control structure resulting from the acquisitions of Trapelo and Inivata.
Trapelo and Inivata are now included in our reporting under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we must maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of migrating Trapelo’s and Inivata’s operations to our system of internal controls. Therefore, we may face difficulties or experience delays in developing changes or potentially necessary improvements to their internal controls and accounting systems in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to commit substantial resources, including substantial time from existing accounting personnel and from external consultants, to implement additional procedures and improved controls. This in turn could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition, harm our reputation, or otherwise cause a decline in investor confidence and our stock price.
Trapelo and Inivata may have liabilities that are not known, probable or estimable at this time.
Trapelo and Inivata are now wholly-owned subsidiaries of ours and there could be unasserted claims or assessments that we failed or were unable to discover or identify in the course of performing due diligence investigations of these entities. In addition, there may be liabilities that are neither probable nor estimable at this time which may become probable and estimable in the future. We may learn additional information about Trapelo and Inivata that adversely affects us, such as unknown, unasserted or contingent liabilities and issues relating to compliance with applicable laws, including federal healthcare laws. Any of the foregoing, individually or in the aggregate, if not covered by the indemnification obligations of the Trapelo or Inivata sellers or our representation and warranty insurance, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are exposed to liability, penalties or limitations on our operations due to failure to comply with significant government regulation and laboratory operations.
We are subject to extensive state and federal regulatory oversight. Specifically, each of our laboratories must satisfy federal requirements under CLIA and to maintain the appropriate CLIA Certificate for all testing performed at the lab. Additionally, most states have adopted various laws and regulations setting standards for laboratories performing clinical laboratory testing and requiring laboratories to obtain and maintain a state laboratory license before the laboratory is authorized to perform testing. These state licensure laws address a host of requirements and often include permissible and prohibited practices involving digital health, including but not limited to telehealth and telepathology.
Periodic inspections or surveys are performed to determine whether our laboratory locations are compliant with CLIA requirements or with applicable state licensure or certification laws. The sanctions for failure to comply with CLIA, state licensure requirements, or other applicable laws and regulations include the suspension, revocation, or limitation of the right to perform clinical laboratory services or receive compensation for those services, as well as the requirement to enter into a corrective action plan to monitor compliance, and the imposition of civil or criminal penalties or administrative fines. In addition, any new legislation or regulation or the application of existing laws and regulations in ways that we have not anticipated could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Existing federal laws governing Medicare and Medicaid, as well as some other state and federal laws, also regulate certain aspects of the relationship between healthcare providers, including clinical laboratories, and their referral sources, including physicians, hospitals and other laboratories. Certain of these laws, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statutes (“AKS”) and the federal physician self-referral law (the “Stark Law”) contain extremely broad proscriptions. Violation of these laws results in criminal penalties, exclusion from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal healthcare programs, repayment of reimbursement received related to services tied to any impermissible referrals, or civil monetary penalties, which may be significant, as well as potential False Claims Act liability. Government authorities may determine that our arrangements with physicians and other clients do not comply with the federal AKS, Stark Law and similar state laws and impose civil monetary penalties or exclude us based on our arrangements with physicians and other clients. The Company, for example, is voluntarily
53
conducting an internal investigation, with the assistance of outside counsel, that focuses on the compliance of certain consulting and service agreements with federal healthcare laws and regulations, including those relating to fraud, waste and abuse. Based on this internal investigation, the Company voluntarily notified the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) of the Company’s internal investigation in November 2021. The Company’s review of this matter is ongoing. As of September 30, 2021 , the Company has accrued a reserve of $10.5 million in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for potential damages and liabilities associated with the federal healthcare program revenue received by the Company in connection with the agreements at issue that were identified during the course of this internal investigation. This reserve reflects management’s best estimate of the minimum probable loss associated with this matter. As a result of the ongoing investigation and interactions with regulatory authorities, the Company may accrue additional reserves for any related potential damages and liabilities arising out of this matter. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the duration, scope, result or related costs associated with any further investigation, including by the OIG, or any other governmental authority, or what penalties or remedial actions they may seek. Accordingly, at this time, the Company is unable to estimate a range of possible loss in excess of the amount reserved. Determinations that the Company’s operations or activities do not, or did not, comply with laws or regulations, however, may result in the imposition of civil or criminal fines, penalties, disgorgement, restitution, equitable relief, or other losses or conduct restrictions, which could be material to the Company’s financial results or business operations
The federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law (“federal CMP Law”) imposes civil monetary penalties and potential exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid programs on any person who offers or transfers remuneration to any patient who is a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary, when the person knows or should know that the remuneration is likely to induce the patient to receive medical services from a particular provider. The federal CMP Law applies, among other things, to many kinds of inducements or benefits provided to patients, including complimentary items, services or transportation that are of more than nominal value. Government authorities may determine our operations and provision of services do not comply with the law and its interpretations and impose civil monetary penalties and exclude us from participation in Medicare and Medicaid for past or present practices related to patient incentive, coordination of care and need-based programs.
Furthermore, HIPAA, the HITECH Act, (as implemented through HIPAA’s privacy and security regulations) and similar state laws contain provisions that require the electronic exchange of health information, such as claims submission and receipt of remittances, using standard transactions and code sets, which we refer to as “Standards”, and regulate the use and disclosure of patient records and other PHI. These provisions, which address security and confidentiality of patient information as well as the administrative aspects of claims handling, have very broad applicability and govern many healthcare providers, including physicians and clinical laboratories. Failure to comply with the Standards, the HIPAA privacy and security regulations, and applicable state privacy and security laws, risks a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and our financial condition and could subject us to liability. Additionally, while there is no private right of action under HIPAA, state Attorneys General may bring an action against a covered entity, such as us, for a violation of HIPAA, and the federal Office for Civil Rights can impose fines and penalties.

(1) The Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, as amended on May 27, 2021, allows participants to surrender already-owned shares having a fair market value equal to the required withholding tax related to the vesting of restricted stock. Pursuant to a share withholding election made by participants in connection with the vesting of such awards, all of which were outside of a publicly-announced repurchase plan, we acquired from such participants the shares noted in the table above to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to the vesting of their restricted stock. The average prices listed in the above table are averages of the fair market prices at which we valued shares withheld for purposes of calculating the number of shares to be withheld.
