Note A – Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Parent”), and its subsidiaries, NeoGenomics Laboratories, Inc., a Florida corporation (“NEO” or, “NeoGenomics Laboratories”), NeoGenomics Bioinformatics Inc., a Florida corporation, Path Labs LLC., a Delaware limited liability company (“PathLogic”) and Clarient Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary Clarient Diagnostic Services, Inc. (together, “Clarient”), (collectively referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”, “NeoGenomics”, or the “Company”), operates as a certified “high complexity” clinical laboratory in accordance with the federal government’s Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act, as amended (“CLIA”), and is dedicated to the delivery of clinical diagnostic services to pathologists, oncologists, urologists, hospitals, and other laboratories throughout the United States.  On August 1, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its equity interests in Path Logic, see Note K – Subsequent Events.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. These accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been condensed or omitted in these accompanying interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2017.  

The results of operations presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any future periods. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the results of all interim periods reported herein.

We have one reportable operating segment that delivers testing services to hospitals, pathologists, oncologists, other clinicians, and researchers, which represents 100% of the Company’s consolidated assets, net revenues and net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.  We have evaluated our segments based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer, reviews performance and makes decisions in managing the Company.  At June 30, 2017, all of our services were provided within the United States and all of our assets were located in the United States.

We have two primary types of customers, clinical and pharma.  Our clinical customers include community based pathology practices, oncology groups, hospitals and academic centers.  Our pharma customers include pharmaceutical companies to whom we provide testing and other services to support their studies and clinical trials.  As we grow, we continue to assess the information available to the CODM.  Currently, discrete financial information is not available to the CODM about the separate financial performance of our clinical and our pharma customers.  As we continue to grow and focus separately on the two customer types we will routinely assess the information available and reviewed by the CODM and determine if we meet the criteria for having separate segments.

Note B – Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance

Adopted

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU “) No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The standard update required excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded directly through earnings as a component of income tax expense. Under previous GAAP, these differences were generally recorded in additional paid-in capital and thus had no impact on net income. The change impacted the computation of diluted earnings per share, and the cash flows associated with those items are now classified as operating activities on the condensed statements of consolidated cash flows.  Entities were permitted to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards. Forfeitures could be estimated, as required under previous GAAP, or recognized when they occur.

The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017 using the transition method prescribed for each applicable provision:

Issued

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  This standard provides guidance related to the scope of stock option modification accounting, to reduce diversity in practice and reduce cost and complexity regarding existing guidance. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations.  This standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides guidance on when transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets and when they should be accounted for as acquisitions of businesses.  This update is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017 the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other:  Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.  This standard eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021.  Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.  

In August 2016, the FASB issued “ASU” 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.  This standard clarifies how specific cash receipts and cash payments are classified and presented in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The update requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those periods.  The adoption of this ASU will result in an increase on the balance sheet for lease liabilities and right to use assets.  The Company is currently evaluating the quantitative impact that adopting ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. This standard update calls for a number of revisions in the revenue recognition rules. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this ASU to the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of 2017.  The ASU can be applied using a full retrospective method or a modified retrospective method of adoption.  The Company expects to adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 using a full retrospective method of adoption.  We anticipate enhanced financial statement disclosures surrounding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  In addition, we expect the standard to impact gross profit as a portion of our bad debt expense will be considered an implicit price concession and will be reported as a reduction in net

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term capital lease obligations and term debt approximates its fair value based on the current market conditions for similar instruments. 

Term Loan

On December 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Regions Bank as administrative agent and collateral agent.  The Credit Agreement provided for a $75.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”).  The Credit Agreement also provides incremental facility capacity of $50 million, subject to certain conditions.  On June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had current outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan of approximately $3.8 million and long-term outstanding borrowings of approximately $68.4 million and $70.1 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $994,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.  The debt issuance costs were recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount of the related liability and are being amortized over the life of the loan.

The Term Loan Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at NeoGenomics Laboratories’ option, either (1) the Adjusted LIBOR rate for the relevant interest period, (2) an alternate base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the prime lending rate of Regions, (b) the federal funds rate for the relevant interest period plus 0.5% per annum and (c) the one month LIBOR rate plus 1% per annum, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2). The applicable margin will range from 2.25% to 3.50% for LIBOR loans and 1.25% to 2.50% for base rate loans, in each case based on NeoGenomics Laboratories’ consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Interest on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is payable on the last day of each month, in the case of each base rate loan, and on the last day of each interest period (but no less frequently than every three months), in the case of Adjusted LIBOR loans.  The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge against changes in the variable rate of a portion of this debt.  See Note E-Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for more information on this instrument.

The Term Loan Facility and amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured on a first priority basis by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of NeoGenomics Laboratories and the Guarantors.  The Term Loan Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants including ability to incur liens and encumbrances; make certain restricted payments, including paying dividends on its equity securities or payments to redeem, repurchase or retire its equity securities; enter into certain restrictive agreements; make investments, loans and acquisitions; merge or consolidate with any other person; dispose of assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in transactions with its affiliates, and materially alter the business it conducts.  In addition, the Company must meet certain maximum leverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios as of the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2017.  The Company was in compliance with all required covenants as of June 30, 2017.

The Term Loan Facility has a maturity date of December 21, 2021.  The Credit Agreement requires NeoGenomics Laboratories to mandatorily prepay the Term Loan Facility and amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility with (i) 100% of net cash proceeds from certain sales and dispositions, subject to certain reinvestment rights, (ii) 100% of net cash proceeds from certain issuances or incurrences of additional debt, (iii) beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, 50% of excess cash flow (as defined), subject to a step down to 0% of excess cash flow if NeoGenomics Laboratories’ consolidated leverage ratio is no greater than 2.75:1.0 and (iv) 100% of net cash proceeds from issuances of permitted equity securities by NeoGenomics Laboratories made in order to cure a failure to comply with the financial covenants. NeoGenomics Laboratories is permitted to voluntarily prepay the Term Loan Facility and amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without penalty.

Auto Loans

The Company has auto loans with various financial institutions.  The auto loan terms range from 36-60 months and carry interest rates from 0.0% to 5.2%.

Capital Leases

The Company has entered into capital leases to purchase laboratory and office equipment.  These leases expire at various dates through 2020 and the weighted average interest rate under such leases was approximately 5.64% at June 30, 2017. Most of these

leases contain bargain purchase options that allow us to purchase the leased property for a minimal amount upon the expiration of the lease term. The remaining leases have purchase options at fair market value.      

Property and equipment acquired under capital lease agreements are pledged as collateral to secure the performance of the future minimum lease payments.

Revolving Credit Facility

On December 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Regions Bank as administrative agent and collateral agent.  The Credit Agreement provided for a $75.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”).  On June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding borrowings of approximately $26.9 million and $21.8 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $995,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.

The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $10 million swingline sublimit, with swingline loans bearing interest at the alternate base rate plus the applicable margin. Any principal outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility is due and payable on December 21, 2021 or such earlier date as the obligations under the Credit Agreement become due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The Revolving Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at NeoGenomics Laboratories’ option, either (1) the Adjusted LIBOR rate for the relevant interest period, (2) an alternate base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the prime lending rate of Regions, (b) the federal funds rate for the relevant interest period plus 0.5% per annum and (c) the one month LIBOR rate plus 1% per annum, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2). The applicable margin will range from 2.25% to 3.50% for Adjusted LIBOR loans and 1.25% to 2.50% for base rate loans, in each case based on NeoGenomics Laboratories’ consolidated leverage ratio. Interest on the outstanding principal of the Term Loan Facility will be payable on the last day of each month, in the case of each base rate loan, and on the last day of each interest period (but no less frequently than every three months), in the case of LIBOR loans.

The Credit Agreement requires NeoGenomics Laboratories to mandatorily prepay the Term Loan Facility and amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility with (i) 100% of net cash proceeds from certain sales and dispositions, subject to certain reinvestment rights, (ii) 100% of net cash proceeds from certain issuances or incurrences of additional debt, (iii) beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, 50% of excess cash flow (minus certain specified other payments), subject to a step down to 0% of excess cash flow if NeoGenomics Laboratories’ consolidated leverage ratio is no greater than 2.75:1.0 and (iv) 100% of net cash proceeds from issuances of permitted equity securities by NeoGenomics Laboratories made in order to cure a failure to comply with the financial covenants. NeoGenomics Laboratories is permitted to voluntarily prepay the Term Loan Facility and amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without penalty, subject to customary “breakage” costs with respect to prepayments of Adjusted LIBOR rate loans made on a day other than the last day of any applicable interest period.

Note E – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Cash Flow Hedges

In December of 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our variable rate debt obligations.  This derivative financial instrument is accounted for at fair value as a cash flow hedge which effectively modifies our exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of our floating rate debt to a fixed rate obligation, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense.

We account for derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, see Note B-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our accounting policy related to derivative instruments and hedging activities.  

Under this agreement, we receive a variable rate of interest based on LIBOR, and we pay a fixed rate of interest at 1.59%.  The interest rate swap agreement was effective as of December 30, 2016 and a termination date of December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the total notional amount of the Company’s interest rate swaps were $50 million.

The fair value of the interest rate swap will be included in other long term assets or liabilities, when applicable.  As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the interest rate swap was not considered to be significant due to the change in LIBOR over that time period outstanding, therefore, no amount is included on the balance sheet for this instrument.  As the specific terms and notional amounts of the derivative financial instrument match those of the fixed-rate debt being hedged, the derivative instruments are assumed to be perfectly effective hedges and accordingly, there is no impact to the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses on this interest rate swap agreement will be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no impact to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) as it was determined that there was not a significant change to record.  The fair value of this instrument will be evaluated on a quarterly basis and adjusted as necessary.    

Note F – Class A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On December 30, 2015, NeoGenomics issued 14,666,667 shares of its Series A Preferred stock as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Clarient.  The Series A Preferred Stock has a face value of $7.50 per share for a total liquidation value of $110 million.  During the first year, the Series A Preferred Stock had a liquidation value of $100 million if the shares were redeemed prior to December 29, 2016.  On December 22, 2016, the Company redeemed 8,066,667 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for $55.0 million in cash.  The redemption amount per share equaled $6.8181825 ($7.50 minus the liquidation discount of 9.0909%).  At June 30, 2017, 6,600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding.  

The carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock at June 30, 2017 was $27.7 million as compared to the carrying amount at December 31, 2016 of $22.9 million.  The increase in the carrying amount is due to the accrual of deemed dividends of approximately $1.8 million, the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature of approximately $3.4 million during the six months ending June 30, 2017 and the additional BCF discounts for payment-in-kind shares accrued during the six months ending June 30, 2017 of $0.4 million.  Both the deemed dividends and the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature are recorded as distributions to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock on the income statement with the corresponding entry recorded as an increase to the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Issue Discount

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

Beneficial Conversion Features

The fair value of the common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible exceeded the allocated purchase price fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock at the date of issuance and after redemption by approximately $44.7 and $20.1 million, respectively, resulting in a beneficial conversion feature.  The Company will recognize the beneficial conversion feature as non-cash, deemed dividend to the holder of Series A Preferred Stock over the first three years the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, as the date the stock first becomes convertible is three years from the issue date.  The amount recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively.  

In addition to the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) recorded at the original issue date, we recorded additional BCF discounts for payment-in-kind shares accrued for quarters ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, as dividends.  After the early redemption, the face value of the remaining Series A Preferred Stock is $49.5 million.  We will issue 264,000 additional shares ($49.5 million * 4.0%) / $7.50) of Series A Preferred Stock as payment-in-kind dividends for the year ending December 31, 2017, the first year dividends are payable.  The additional 264,000 shares will be discounted and amortized to the income statement over the remaining period up to the earliest conversion date, which is three years from the original issue date.  The additional BCF discount recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $201,240 and $402,480, respectively.  

Automatic Conversion

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of the tenth anniversary of the original issue date will automatically convert into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock.

Classification  

The Company classified the Series A Preferred Stock as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets due to certain change in control events that are outside the Company’s control, including deemed liquidation events described in the Series A Certificate of Designation.

Note G – Revenue Recognition and Contractual Adjustments

The Company recognizes revenues when (a) the price is fixed or determinable, (b) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (c) the service is performed and (d) collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company’s specialized diagnostic services are performed based on a written test requisition form or electronic equivalent, 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 Medicare, commercial insurance companies, other directly billed healthcare institutions such as hospitals and clinics, and individuals.  The Company reports revenues from contracted payers, including Medicare, certain insurance companies and certain healthcare institutions, based on the contractual rate, or in the case of Medicare, published fee schedules.  The Company reports revenues from non-contracted payers, including certain insurance companies and individuals, based on the amount expected to be collected.  The difference between the amount billed and the amount estimated to be collected from non-contracted payers is recorded as an allowance to arrive at the reported net revenues.  The expected revenues from non-contracted payers are based on the historical collection experience of each payer or payer group, as appropriate.  The Company records revenues from patient pay tests net of a large discount and as a result recognizes minimal revenue on those tests.  The Company regularly reviews its historical collection experience for non-contracted payers and adjusts its expected revenues for current and subsequent periods accordingly.  On January 1, 2017, we had a significant reduction in our patient fee schedule that primarily impacts the amount billed to uninsured patients.

The table below shows the adjustments made to gross service revenues to arrive at net revenues (in thousands), the amount reported on our statements of operations.

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

Clinical Cancer Testing Services

The cancer testing services we offer to community-based pathologists are designed to be a natural extension of, and complementary to, the services that they perform within their own practices. We believe our relationship as a non-competitive partner to community-based pathology practices, hospital pathology labs and academic centers empowers them to expand their breadth of testing and provide a menu of services that matches or exceeds the level of service found in any center of excellence around the world.

Pharma Services and Clinical Trials

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

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

Whether serving as the single contract research organization or partnering with one, our Pharma Services and Clinical Trials 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 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.

2017 Focus Areas: Develop High Performance Culture, Inspire & “Own” Quality, Accelerate Growth and Advance Our Strategy

Over the past several years, NeoGenomics has experienced rapid growth including organic growth from offering new tests to existing customers, growth from gaining market share from our competitors, and growth from acquisitions.  We expect to continue to grow our business in 2017 and are focused on several initiatives to continue to build our company to be the World’s leading cancer testing and information company.

Develop our High Performance Culture  

We are building our high performance culture by empowering our employees and investing in their growth.  We are providing skill based training, education, and mentoring our supervisors and managers to allow them to grow within the Company.  We communicated career opportunities and performance objectives and hold each employee accountable for their own development.  Teamwork is highly encouraged through the use of team performance incentive plans as well as other meaningful recognition and rewards.  To cultivate teamwork we are committed to improving communication by providing better tools for today’s connected society.  Our organization uses weekly employee surveys and takes actions based on the feedback from those surveys.  We believe that a culture of engaged employees provides superior service to our clients and their patients battling cancer.  We have employee retention targets that are set each year, and we believe our employee retention rate is above average for the laboratory industry.  Recruiting and retaining talented employees is critical in the fast moving field of cancer diagnostics.

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

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

Inspire and “Own” Quality

Since the acquisition of Clarient, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Clarient Diagnostic Services, Inc. (together “Clarient”) we’ve focused on combining the very best of both NeoGenomics and Clarient testing menus and services.  We’ve had functional teams work through every part of the business to ensure that we were able to maintain our high level of quality and create best practices throughout our organization.  Maintaining quality laboratory operations and service is enabling us to retain existing clients while adding new ones.  

We have a variety of initiatives designed to further enhance our company-wide quality program, provide training on the importance of quality, reinforce our quality principals, and recognize individuals and teams for providing quality service.  By promoting and reinforcing quality principles, we believe we can strengthen our core processes.  Our focus on continuous improvement, first time quality and the work of our best-practice teams will enable us to continue reducing our cost per test as we have steadily over the past several years.

In 2016, we began work on our next generation Laboratory Information System, or LIS and our information technology team is working to complete this LIS system for certain key areas in 2017.  We believe the new LIS system will help to drive improvements in efficiencies in several laboratory areas and will allow for further automation and operational efficiencies.  It will also enable our Pharma Services clients the ability to track each step through the laboratory process.  On June 30, 2017, we began to use this new system in or Pharma Services business.

We have renovated our Aliso Viejo, CA laboratory and in March of 2017, we completed the consolidation of our Irvine Lab facility into the Aliso Viejo Lab facility, and we fully vacated the Irvine facility on April 30, 2017.  We expect to achieve significant economies of scale and operating efficiencies from this move.

Accelerate Profitable Growth

Our plans for 2017 include many initiatives to continue our strong organic growth by gaining market share, introducing new tests, and by expanding our Pharma business.  Through the acquisition of Clarient we have significantly expanded our Pharma Services business, and plan to develop it further by creating an international presence and incorporating new technologies.  Also, as a result of the Clarient acquisition, we have expanded our sales team and now offer our services in geographic areas where we did not previously have sales representation.  We believe our highly trained sales team has been successful in competing against other laboratories because of our exceptional service levels, and because we have one of the broadest and most comprehensive test menus in our industry. Our broad menu of molecular and immunohistochemistry testing has helped make us a “one stop shop” for many clients who like the fact that all of their testing can be sent to one laboratory.

We currently perform comprehensive analyses for hematopoietic cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma (blood and lymphoid tumors) as well as solid tumors such as breast, lung, colon, and bladder cancers.  Our sales team is experienced with the scientific complexity and medical necessity of our testing services, and understands the needs of our client pathologists and oncologists. We will continue to pursue market share gains by providing high complexity, cancer-related laboratory testing services to hospitals, community-based pathology practices, academic centers, and clinicians throughout the United States.  

Our growth has also been aided by strong client retention.  We believe our client retention success is due to our strong service levels, our “tech-only” service offerings, and a culture of customer focus in which our engaged employees seek to deliver highest customer satisfaction possible.   Our strong service levels are reinforced by a disciplined management process with a system of detailed measures and metrics to ensure committed turnaround times and customer service.  Our broad menu of molecular and immunohistochemistry testing has helped make us a “one stop shop” for many clients who like the fact that all of their testing can be sent to one laboratory.

In early 2017, we re-branded and created a new logo.  We intend to implement strategic marketing plans to further develop our brand and build brand awareness.  We have re-designed our trade show booth incorporating our new logo and plan to improve new test launches by using social media to improve brand awareness.   We believe by executing and developing our brand we will achieve growth in new and existing markets.

We also look for opportunities to grow our business through mergers and/or acquisitions.  We 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 timeframe.  In late 2015 we acquired Clarient which specialized in advanced oncology diagnostic services, this acquisition has enabled NeoGenomics to

19

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

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

broaden its offering of innovative cancer diagnostic tests to hospitals and physicians across the country, and to accelerate its growth in the fast-growing worldwide market for pharmaceutical clinical trials and research.  Complementary product offerings and expanded geographical reach of the combined company will provide customers with substantial benefits and create a significantly larger and more diversified provider of precision oncology diagnostics.  The Clarient transaction is a good example of the type of acquisition opportunity we will consider in the future.

Advance Our Strategy

We are committed to being an innovative leader and believe this has been and will be a key factor in our growth.  We plan to accomplish this goal through strategic actions designed to: 1) advance the technology we use in our laboratories, 2) evaluate, develop and deploy new products and services, and 3) evaluate and experiment with value-based payment models in collaboration with oncology groups and other health care providers.

Our broad and innovative testing menu allows us to serve community-based pathologists and clinicians as well as pharmaceutical customers and nationally recognized academic centers.  Over the past year, we have developed approximately 50 new molecular oncology tests and disease-specific panels, and we believe we have one of the most comprehensive oncology test menus of any laboratory in the world.  By launching new medically significant and necessary tests at a steady rate, we are able to provide cutting-edge developments in molecular genetics with clients and their patients and are developing our reputation as a leader in the field of molecular oncology.  In many cases, customers who begin using us because of our new innovative test offerings also begin to refer portions of their other testing.  

Our comprehensive test offering allows us to be a one-stop shop for all of the oncology testing needs of our clients.  Pharmaceutical firms are also attracted to our laboratory based on extensive test menu, and based on our knowledgeable research and development team as well as our ability to offer tests at the forefront of medical developments. 

We continue to pursue opportunities to offer “liquid biopsy” testing, particularly for hematological diseases.  We have launched twelve NEOLAB^TM liquid biopsy tests for hematological disease using next generation sequencing and other advanced molecular technologies.  Liquid Biopsy testing uses cell-free circulating DNA and RNA found in blood plasma to identify molecular abnormalities in the bone marrow without the need for a bone marrow biopsy.  The technology is based on the concept that hematologic cells release their DNA, RNA, and protein into circulation as the cells are immersed in blood.  The cell-free circulating DNA, RNA and protein are referred to as exosomes, microvesicles, apoptotic bodies or simply DNA- or RNA-protein complexes.  Our new tests use proprietary methods to extract these circulating nucleic acids and analyze them using next generation sequencing and advanced methods in order to evaluate molecular abnormalities present in hematological cancers.  

We also continue to develop new testing approaches by combining the capabilities of a variety of testing technologies.   Our NeoTYPE^TM multimodality testing is somewhat unique in the industry and combines immunohistochemistry testing, molecular testing, and FISH testing into disease-specific panels that are very effective and efficient for improving patient care.  We introduced a number of NeoTYPE^TM molecular panels that combine multiple molecular tests into multi-gene panels targeting specific types of cancer to help pathologists and oncologists determine cancer subtypes on difficult cases.  Managed care payers have expressed interest in the more targeted panels as a more cost effective alternative to ordering large whole genome panels that include genes that have never been tied to a particular type of cancer.

We continue to develop our NeoLAB (Liquid Biopsy) Prostate cancer test that is performed on blood plasma and urine rather than on prostate tissue biopsies.  There are two goals for this test: 1) to diagnose the presence of cancer in patients and 2) to distinguish high-grade from low-grade cancer in patients with prostate cancer.  

Competitive Strengths

Turnaround Times

We strive to provide industry leading turnaround times for test results to our clients nationwide.  By providing information to our clients in a rapid manner, physicians can begin treating their patients as soon as possible.  We believe our average 4-5 day turnaround time for our cytogenetics testing services, our average 3-4 day turnaround time for FISH testing services, our 5-7 day turnaround time for molecular testing and our average 1 day turnaround time for flow cytometry and pathology testing services are industry-leading

20

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

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

benchmarks for national laboratories.  Our consistent timeliness of results is a competitive strength and a driver of additional testing requests by our referring physicians.  Rapid turnaround times allow for the performance of other adjunctive tests within an acceptable diagnosis window in order to augment or confirm results and more fully inform treatment options.  We believe that our fast turnaround times are a key differentiator versus other national laboratories, and our clients often cite them as a key factor in their relationship with us.

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 June 30, 2017, we employed, or are contracted with, approximately 35 full-time M.D.s and Ph.Ds.  The addition of Clarient’s pathology team has added increased depth to our medical team, and has enhanced our ability to service a wider range of specialties.  

Extensive Tech-Only Service Offerings

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 FISH, flow cytometry and other tech-only service offerings allow properly trained and credentialed community-based pathologists to extend their own practices by performing professional interpretations services, which allows them to better service the needs of their local clientele without the need to invest in the lab equipment and personnel required to perform the technical component of genetic and molecular testing.

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 believe this innovative approach to serving the needs of pathology clients’ results in longer term, more committed client relationships that are, in effect, strategic partnerships. Our extensive “tech-only” service offerings have differentiated us and allowed us to compete more effectively against larger, more entrenched competitors in our niche of the industry.

Global Service Offerings

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

Client Education Programs

We believe we have one of the most extensive client education programs in the genetic and molecular testing industry. We train pathologists how to use and interpret genetic testing services so that they can better interpret technical data and render their diagnosis.

Our educational programs include an extensive library of on-demand training modules, online courses, webinars and custom tailored on-site training programs that are designed to prepare clients to utilize our tech-only services. We offer training and information on new cancer tests and the latest developments in the field of molecular genetic testing. Each year, we also regularly sponsor seminars and webinars on emerging topics of interest in our field. Our medical staff is involved in many aspects of our training programs.

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

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

Superior Testing Technologies and Instrumentation

We use some of the most advanced testing technologies and instrumentation in the laboratory industry. The use of next generation sequencing in our molecular testing allows us to detect multiple mutations and our proprietary techniques allow us to achieve high sensitivity in our next generation sequencing testing.  In addition, we use high sensitivity Sanger sequencing, RNA and DNA quantification, SNP/Cytogenetic arrays, Fragment Length analysis, and other molecular testing technologies.  Our automated FISH and Cytogenetics tools allow us to deliver the highest quality testing to our clients and our flow cytometry laboratory uses 10-color flow cytometry analysis technology on a technical-only basis.  NeoGenomics is continually testing new laboratory equipment in order to remain at the forefront of new developments in the testing field.

Laboratory Information System

We believe we have a state-of-the-art LIS that interconnects our locations and provides flexible reporting solutions to clients.  This system allows us to standardize testing and deliver uniform test results and images throughout our network, regardless of the location that any specific portion of a test is performed within our network.  This allows us to move specimens and image analysis work between locations to better balance our workload.  Our LIS also allows us to offer highly specialized and customizable reporting solutions to our tech-only clients.  For instance, our “tech-only” FISH and flow cytometry applications allow our community-based pathologist clients to tailor individual reports to their specifications and incorporate only the images they select and then issue and sign-out such reports using our system.  Our customized reporting solution also allows our clients to incorporate test results performed on ancillary tests not performed at NeoGenomics into summary report templates.  This FlexREPORT feature has been well-received by clients.

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 five regions (Northeast, Southeast, North Central, South Central and West), and we have a separate sales team for our Pharma Services division.  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 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.

Geographic Locations

Many high complexity laboratories within the cancer testing niche have frequently operated a core facility on either the West Coast or the East Coast of the United States to service the needs of their customers around the country. We believe our clients and prospects desire to do business with a laboratory with national breadth and a local presence. We have six facilities including three large laboratory locations in Fort Myers, Florida, Aliso Viejo, California and Houston Texas.  We also have three smaller laboratory locations in Fresno, California, Nashville, Tennessee and Tampa, Florida. Our objective is to “operate one lab with multiple locations” in order to deliver standardized, high quality, test results. We have recently completed renovations in our Aliso Viejo facility and have successfully transitioned all Irvine employees and tests into the much larger Aliso Viejo laboratory during late March 2017.  We have begun work with authorities in Switzerland regarding our planned opening of a laboratory near Geneva during the second half of 2017.  This laboratory will support our Pharma Services division and will enable us to compete for clinical trials business in Europe as well as for studies that have components in both the United States and in Europe.  We intend to continue to develop and open new laboratories and/or expand our current facilities as market situations dictate and business opportunities arise.

Scientific Pipeline

In the past few years our field has experienced a rapid increase in tests that are tied to specific “genomic pathways”. These predictive tests are typically individualized for a small sub-set of patients with a specific subtype of cancer. The therapeutic target in the genomic pathway is typically a small molecule found at the level of the cell surface, within the cytoplasm and/or within the nucleus. These genomic pathways, known as the “Hallmarks of Cancer”, contain a target-rich environment for small-molecule “anti-therapies”. These anti-therapies target specific mutations in the major cancer pathways such as the Proliferation Pathway, the Apoptotic Pathway, the Angiogenic Pathway, the Metastasis Pathway, and the Signaling Pathways and Anti-Signaling Pathways.

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

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

Seasonality

The majority of our 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 tornados in certain regions, consequently reducing revenues and cash flows in any affected period. Therefore, comparison of the results of successive periods may not accurately reflect trends for future periods.

Please see the section captioned Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016; as filed with the SEC on March 14, 2017 for a detailed description of our business.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 as Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

The following table presents the consolidated statements of operations as a percentage of revenue:

The following table presents consolidated revenue by type for the periods indicated ($ in thousands):

Revenue

Clinical testing revenue increased for both the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016.  Testing volumes also increased in our clinical genetic testing business by approximately 16.2% and 15.8% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively.  The increases in revenue and volume were due to strong growth in molecular testing as well as immuno-histochemistry.  The growth in immuno-histochemistry tests is due to a surge in demand for the PD-L1 test as a result of the FDA approving Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in October 2016 as first-line treatment for PD-L1 positive non-small cell lung cancer.  We have also seen solid growth in molecular testing, including growth in our multi-gene molecular panels under the NeoTYPE menu.  

Pharma Services revenue decreased slightly for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016; however, Pharma Services revenue increased approximately 26% in the second quarter of 2017 as compared with the first quarter of 2017.  Our backlog of signed contracts has continued to grow from $26.0 million as of June 30, 2016 to a record high of

23

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

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

$46.5 million as of June 30, 2017.  We expect this backlog to result in higher revenues in future quarters.  We also expect to see further growth in our Pharma Services division as we expand internationally and open our Geneva, Switzerland laboratory in the second half of 2017.

The following table shows clinical genetic testing revenue, cost of revenue, requisitions received and tests performed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.  This data excludes tests performed for Pharma customers and tests performed by Path Logic (testing revenue and cost of revenue in thousands):

We believe that the increases in clinical testing revenue are the direct result of our efforts to innovate by developing and maintaining one of the most comprehensive cancer testing menus in the industry.  This broad test menu allows for existing clients to order more testing and attracts new clients allowing us to gain market share from competitors.  New immuno-histochemistry tests such as Micro Satellite Instability; and DNA Mismatch Repair as well as PD1 and PD-L1 have shown solid growth and have helped to fuel our volume and revenue growth in the second quarter.  We believe the field of immuno-therapy will continue to show substantial growth in coming years and our ability to offer multi-modality testing in one lab will allow us to capitalize on this increased demand.  

Average revenue per test decreased for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding periods in the previous year.  These decreases are primarily due to the change in test mix, specifically the increase in PD-L1 testing which has a lower average unit price (“AUP”) than our overall Company AUP.  The 19% Medicare cut in Flow Cytometry reimbursement as a result of the 2017 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule also contributed to the lower revenue per test.

These decreases to our AUP were offset by our higher volumes and reductions in cost per test.  The cost per test reductions were partially a result of the change in test mix, specifically the higher mix of lower cost histology tests.  In addition, we continue to have success in driving down costs in the laboratory as synergies are being realized from the consolidation of our Irvine and Aliso Viejo, California laboratories.  We have also seen a reduction in send-out costs, as our extensive menu makes it rare for us to need to send a test to another laboratory.  

In late March of 2017, we completed the consolidation of our two largest testing facilities in southern California.  This impacted our cost per test in the first quarter as we incurred increased overtime expense as well as other inefficiencies such as having to re-validate tests and equipment in the new location.  We are beginning to realize cost synergies and scale benefits from this consolidation and expect to further reduce our cost of testing in the coming quarters as we optimize processes and renegotiate contracts with suppliers.  

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.

24

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

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

The consolidated cost of revenue and gross profit metrics are as follows ($ in thousands):

Consolidated cost of revenue in dollars increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the same periods in 2016 while cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased year-over-year.  These increases in cost of revenue are largely due to the increase in our testing volumes and additional costs incurred with the consolidation of our two largest testing facilities in southern California, specifically increased overtime and associated costs.  

Gross profit margin increased to 47.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 45.3% for the same period last year.  We were able to increase gross profit margin due to our laboratories processing the increased test volumes more efficiently.  We had only limited staffing increases in the laboratory to handle the increased volumes, and our laboratory teams have been effective in reducing their cost per test across almost all departments.  We are beginning to see the benefits of synergies in our laboratory from the Clarient acquisition and are making significant progress reducing our cost per test.  

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of employee related costs (such as salaries, fringe benefits, and stock based compensation expense) for our billing, finance, human resources, information technology and other administrative personnel. We also allocate professional services, facilities expense, IT infrastructure costs, bad debt expense, depreciation, amortization and other administrative-related costs to general and administrative expenses.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses for the periods presented are as follows:

The increase in our general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 was largely due to increased expenses in the following areas:  payroll (including stock based compensation), depreciation, professional fees and bad debt.  

Bad debt expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased by approximately $1.5 million when compared to the same period in 2016.  Bad debt as a percentage of revenue was 6.4%, which was higher than last year’s rate of 4.4%.  Bad debt expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased by approximately $2.6 million when compared to the same period in 2016.  Bad debt as a percentage of revenue was 6.3%, which was higher than last year’s rate of 4.4%.  The increases as a percentage of revenue are primarily related to the integration of Clarient and the change in billing systems which began in July of 2016 and Clarient which historically had higher bad debt rates than did NeoGenomics’ legacy business.  The Clarient business has been fully transitioned over to NeoGenomics billing system and we anticipate that bad debt will begin to move lower in the second half of 2017.  

Professional fees increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the same periods in 2016.  Part of this increase was due to fees incurred related to the Pharma Services facility in Geneva, Switzerland in the amounts of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. There were no related fees for the three and six month period ending June 30, 2016.  Depreciation expense has also increased as a result of the higher level of capital spending in 2017, including spending on significant enhancements to our IT security systems.  

Payroll expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the same periods in 2016.  This increase is partially due to additional staff hired for certain functions such as billing, IT and accounts payable that were performed by outside vendors or by General Electric in early 2016 under the Clarient “Transition Services Agreement”.  We have also seen an increase in stock based compensation which has increased from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, to $3.1 million

for the six months ended June 30, 2017.  This increase is due to the increase in NeoGenomics stock price as well as increase in stock option grants and restricted stock awards.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we add personnel and equity related compensation expenses, increase our billing and collections activities; incur additional expenses associated with the expansion of our facilities and backup systems; incur additional bad debt expense as sales increase and as we continue to expand our physical infrastructure to support our anticipated growth.  A significant portion of our stock based compensation is for non-employee options which are subject to variable accounting, and our expenses will fluctuate based on the performance of our common stock.  A rise in the price of our stock will increase our stock compensation expense, and a decline in our stock price will reduce this expense.  However, we anticipate that general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenue will drop over the coming years as we continue to grow.  

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses relate to cost of developing new proprietary and non-proprietary genetic tests, including payroll and payroll related costs, maintenance and depreciation of laboratory equipment, laboratory supplies (reagents), and outside consultants and experts assisting our research and development team.    

Consolidated research and development expenses for the periods presented are as follows:

Research and development expense decreased for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.  The decrease in research and development expense is partially attributable to the reduction in the balance of unvested options outstanding in 2017 as compared to 2016.  Excluding stock based compensation expense of approximately $285,000 and 372,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, research and development expense was approximately $662,000 and $934,000.  Excluding stock based compensation expense of approximately $327,000 and $363,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, research and development expense was approximately $1.5 million and $2.4 million.  Excluding stock based compensation, research and development expense decreased year-over-year due to a decrease in amortization expense.  The intangible assets that were being amortized were license agreements associated with Health Discovery Corporation, and were fully impaired in the fourth quarter of 2016.  We are no longer developing technology that was previously licensed with the Health Discovery Corporation.  

We expect our research and development expenses to fluctuate in future quarters because of increases or decreases in our stock price and the corresponding stock based compensation expense for non-employee stock options. Increases in our stock price result in additional expense and decreases in our stock price can result in recovery of previously recorded expense.  We anticipate research and development expenditures will increase over time as we continue to invest in 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:

Sales and marketing expenses decreased for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in commissions.  We expect higher commissions expense in the coming quarters as the sales representatives’ focus on generating new business and increasing revenue.  We expect our sales and marketing expenses over the long term to increase as our test volumes increase, but to remain stable as a percentage of our overall sales.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net is comprised of interest incurred on our term debt, revolving credit facility and our capital lease obligations offset by the interest income we earn on cash deposits.  Interest expense, net decreased in both the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The decreases in interest expense, net of $37,000 for the three month period and $265,000 for the six month period reflect the significantly lower borrowing rate in the Loan Agreement entered into in December of 2016.  Due to these lower interest rates, while total borrowings have been higher in 2017 compared to 2016, interest expense has been lower.  In addition, we have entered into a swap agreement to hedge a significant portion of the interest on our term loan, however part of that loan is not hedged and will continue to fluctuate as the LIBOR rates change.

Non-GAAP Measures

Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s financial results are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Management believes that presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company’s operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods and between entities. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting purposes and to manage the Company’s business. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric for our business because it is used by our lenders in the calculation of our debt covenants.  Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to evaluate our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management.  The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to and not as a substitute for the Company’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.  There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not therefore present the full measure of the Company’s recorded costs against its net revenue.  In addition, the Company’s definition of the non-GAAP financial measures below may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.  

Definitions of non-GAAP measures

Non – GAAP EBITDA

We define “EBITDA” as net income from continuing operations before: (i) interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.

Non – GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income from continuing operations before: (i) interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, and if applicable in a reporting period (v) acquisition related transaction expenses and other significant non-recurring or non-operating (income) or expenses.

Basis for Non-GAAP Adjustments

Our basis for excluding certain expenses from GAAP financial measures, are outlined below:

We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide more consistent measures of operating performance between entities and across reporting periods by excluding cash and non-cash items of expense that can vary significantly between companies.  In addition, adjusted EBITDA is a metric that is used by our lenders in the calculation of our debt covenants.  Adjusted EBITDA also assists investors in performing analyses that are consistent with financial models developed by independent research analysts.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined by us) are not measurements under GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.  We believe there are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because they exclude a variety of charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not therefore present the full measure of NeoGenomics recorded costs against its net revenue.  Accordingly, we encourage investors to consider both non-GAAP results together with GAAP results in analyzing our financial performance.
