Previous wording

Personalized genetic data and digital and virtual consumer trends are converging to change traditional models of care. We believe significant growth opportunities exist to help patient populations with pressing health care needs through innovative genetic and precision medicine solutions and services. Our focus is on innovation and growth in three key areas where we have specialized products, capabilities, and expertise: Oncology, Women's Health, and Pharmacogenomics. The pillars of our long-term growth strategy are founded on investments in science and innovation, technology-enabled operations, an elevated customer experience, strong commercial execution, and scalable operations. We believe our path to continued growth is driven by articulating our clinical differentiation, raising awareness with patients who we believe would benefit from testing products, and innovation that improves clinical outcomes, ease of use, and access. By investing in tech-enabled commercial tools, new laboratory facilities, advanced automation, and standardized processes and technology, we believe we will be able to reduce complexity and cost while enhancing our ability to scale and grow. We plan to expand some of our current products, such as our Foresight Universal Plus Test, which is an expanded carrier screening test that we anticipate launching in the second half of 2024. We also plan to launch new products, such as FirstGene, Precise Liquid, and Precise minimal residual disease, which we expect will help accelerate our growth. We intend to develop and enhance our products to support growth, improve patient and provider experience, and reach more patients of all backgrounds. We are committed to disciplined management of a key set of initiatives to fulfill our mission and drive long-term growth and profitability.

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash, cash equivalents and marketable investment securities, our expected cash flows from operations, and, in certain circumstances as discussed below, amounts available for borrowing under our asset-based revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and issuing bank, and the other lender parties thereto (the "ABL Facility").
