Current report
Our long-term growth strategy is built on investments in science and innovation, technology-enabled operations, an enhanced customer experience, strong commercial execution, and scalable operations. To drive continued growth, we plan to accelerate electronic medical records (EMR) integrations, expand our sales channels, including into large health systems, cross sell our portfolio of testing products to providers, enhance our testing products within medical guidelines, demonstrate our clinical differentiation and value compared to the standard of care, and optimize our revenue cycle processes. We also continue to invest in clinical evidence development to support the growth of our existing products and launch of new products, such as FirstGene, Precise Liquid, and Precise molecular residual disease (MRD) which we expect will help us continue to grow. We intend to continue to develop and enhance our products and services to support growth, improve patient and provider experience, and reach more patients of all backgrounds.

Current report
The following table summarizes volume changes in our core product categories:
Current report
Revenue decreased $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $7.0 million of revenue for tests in which the performance obligation was met in a prior period, including $3.0 million in revenue due to a retroactive coverage change by a payor for one of its prenatal products. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue for tests in which the performance obligation was met in a prior period was immaterial.
Current report
Pharmacogenomics revenue decreased $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to a 22% decrease in the average revenue per test. Pharmacogenomics revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 has been negatively impacted by UnitedHealthcare’s recent change in coverage of the GeneSight test under its commercial, individual exchange benefit, and certain managed Medicaid plans. We expect this coverage decision will continue to negatively affect revenue in future periods. Hereditary Cancer revenue decreased $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a 5% decrease in average revenue per test, partially offset by a 3% increase in testing volume. Tumor Profiling revenue decreased $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to a decrease in testing volume for EndoPredict due to the sale of our EndoPredict business in August 2024. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue from Prenatal.
Current report
Cost of Revenue
Current report
Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $2.9 million compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a reduction in the cost per test for the current period.
Current report
Operating Expenses
Current report
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating expenses were relatively consistent with the expenses incurred in the same period of the prior year, reflecting stable operating activities across the business. The Company remains committed to disciplined cost management while maintaining investments in key strategic areas, such as research and development.
Current report
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
Current report
Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $29.3 million and our effective tax rate was 99.7%. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $0.1 million and our effective tax rate was (0.4)%. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our recognized effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the release of unrecognized tax benefits and the recognition of valuation allowances. The unrecognized tax benefits released were primarily related to tax refund claims following the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, that allowed the carryback of losses related to tax years ended June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we were notified by the Joint Committee on Taxation that it had concluded its review of these tax refund claims.
Current report
In March 2025, we received notification from the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation that it had concluded its review of tax refund claims following the CARES Act that allowed the carryback of losses. As a result, we currently estimate we will receive a refund of approximately $13 million, including interest, during 2025.
Current report
On June 30, 2023, we entered into an ABL Facility with an initial maximum principal amount of $90.0 million. On October 31, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility pursuant to which we increased the maximum principal amount of the available revolving line of credit by $25.0 million for a total maximum principal commitment of $115.0 million under the ABL Facility.
Current report
We used $2.3 million less cash for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. The improvement in cash used for operating activities was driven by an overall improvement in our operating assets and liabilities of $6.7 million and annual cash bonuses for senior leaders not being paid until the second quarter of 2025, whereas in the prior year annual bonuses were paid in the first quarter of 2024.
Current report
Cash flows used in investing activities increased $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the capitalization of intangible assets expenditures for software developed for internal use.

Previous report
•In August 2024, Peach State Health Plan, a managed Medicaid plan in Georgia, added GeneSight to its medical policy. The Peach State Plan is part of the Centene network of managed Medicaid plans.
Previous report
On November 1, 2024, UnitedHealthcare updated its medical policy for pharmacogenetic testing to no longer provide coverage for certain multi-gene panel pharmacogenetic tests, including our GeneSight test, under its commercial and individual exchange benefit plans, effective January 1, 2025. We recognized approximately $40.0 million in revenue for GeneSight volume from UnitedHealthcare under these commercial and individual exchange plans during the last twelve months ended September 30, 2024. We do not believe that the updated policy affects coverage of GeneSight by UnitedHealthcare under Medicare Advantage and managed Medicaid plans. While we are still assessing the full impact of UnitedHealthcare's change in its GeneSight coverage policy, including our ability to offset the loss in GeneSight coverage, we anticipate that this change will negatively impact revenue in fiscal year 2025 and thereafter. In addition, please refer to Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for potential impacts of UnitedHealthcare's change on goodwill in our Pharmacogenomics reporting unit.

The following table summarizes testing volume changes in our core product categories:
Previous report
Test revenues increased $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to both an increase in testing volumes and an increase in the average revenue per test, due in part to changes in contracted price and operational improvements. Pharmacogenomics revenues increased $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a 22% increase in the average revenue per test and a 10% increase in testing volume. Average revenue per test increased primarily due to a change in estimate. We expect that Pharmacogenomics revenues in fiscal year 2025 and thereafter will be negatively impacted by UnitedHealthcare's recent change in GeneSight test coverage under its commercial and individual exchange benefits plans. Hereditary Cancer revenues increased $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a 5% increase in testing volume. Prenatal revenues increased $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a 6% increase in average revenue per test and a 3% increase in testing volume.

Because of the technical nature of our business and our focus on science, research, and development, we are highly dependent upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified and experienced management, scientific, and technical personnel. Loss of the services of or failure to recruit additional key management, scientific, and technical personnel and other qualified personnel who are necessary to operate our business would adversely affect our business, and it may have a material adverse effect on our business as a whole. Additionally, disruptions to our supply chain could cause shortages of critical materials required to conduct our business, which may have a material adverse effect on our business as a whole. In addition, as discussed below, inflation has had, and may continue to have, an impact on the costs we incur to attract and retain qualified personnel, costs to generate sales and produce testing results, and costs of laboratory supplies.

Our recent significant business updates include the following:
Previous wording
Hereditary Cancer revenues increased $31.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year due to an 8% increase in average revenue per test and a 5% increase in testing volume. Pharmacogenomics revenues increased $26.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to a 13% increase in the average revenue per test, which was partially due to changes in the estimated revenue per test related to prior periods, and an 11% increase in testing volume. We expect that Pharmacogenomics revenues in fiscal year 2025 and thereafter will be negatively impacted by UnitedHealthcare's recent change in GeneSight test coverage under its commercial and individual exchange benefits plans. Prenatal revenues increased $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a 10% increase in average revenue per test and an 8% increase in testing volume. Tumor Profiling revenues decreased $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to a decrease in testing volume for MyChoice CDx, which was largely driven by MyChoice CDx studies that occurred in the prior year period.
Current wording
Prenatal revenue increased $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year due to an 11% increase in average revenue per test.
Previous wording
Other income (expense), net remained consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Current wording
Other income (expense), net decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to the $2.2 million gain recognized on the Precise Tumor acquisition in the prior period.
Previous wording
Our tax rate is the product of a blended U.S. federal effective rate of 21.0% and a blended state income tax rate of approximately 3.4%. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized during the period in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from period to period.
Current wording
Our tax rate is the product of a blended U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a blended state income tax rate of approximately 3.4%. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized during the period in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from period to period.
Previous wording
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, there was $0.9 million income tax expense and our effective tax rate was (4.2)%. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, there was $0.1 million income tax expense and our effective tax rate was (0.2)%. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of valuation allowances. Due to our cumulative loss and the exhaustion of future taxable income from the reversal of taxable temporary differences, our estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year includes a valuation allowance against the majority of the current year increase in deferred tax assets.
Current wording
We remeasured or released the unrecognized benefits resulting in a discrete tax benefit of $29.6 million. Due to our cumulative loss and the exhaustion of future taxable income from the reversal of taxable temporary differences, our estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year includes a valuation allowance against the majority of the current year increase in deferred tax assets.

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, 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, or the ABL Facility. As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $99.9 million and availability under the ABL Facility was $48.8 million, subject to the minimum availability requirement under the ABL Facility. Our capital deployment strategy focuses on use of resources in the key areas of research and development, technology and acquisitions. We believe that investing organically through research and development and new product development or acquisitively to support our business strategy provides the best return on invested capital.
Current wording
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, our expected cash flows from operations, and, in certain circumstances as discussed below, amounts available for borrowing under our asset-based revolving credit facility ("ABL Facility"). As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $91.8 million and our availability under the ABL Facility was $41.9 million. Our capital deployment strategy focuses on use of resources in the key areas of research and development, technology, and acquisitions. We believe that investing organically through research and development and new product development or acquisitively to support our business strategy provides the best return on invested capital.
Previous wording
Our ABL Facility has a total maximum principal commitment of $115.0 million. The ABL Facility requires that we and our subsidiaries guaranteeing the indebtedness, on a consolidated basis, maintain minimum liquidity of $60.0 million and minimum availability of $25.0 million at all times before achieving a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 and, thereafter, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 until achieving availability under the ABL Facility of greater of (a) $10.6 million and (b) 12.5% of the lesser of the maximum commitment amount and the borrowing base for a period of 30 consecutive days. As of September 30, 2024, we had $40.0 million outstanding under the ABL Facility and availability under the ABL Facility was $48.8 million, subject to the minimum availability requirement under the ABL Facility.
Current wording
Our ABL Facility has a total maximum principal commitment of $115.0 million. The ABL Facility requires that we and our subsidiaries guaranteeing the indebtedness, on a consolidated basis, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 if availability under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) $10.6 million and (b) 12.5% of the lesser of the maximum commitment amount and the borrowing base. As of March 31, 2025, we had $60.0 million outstanding under the ABL Facility and our availability under the ABL Facility was $41.9 million.
Previous wording
We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our available capital resources, however, may be consumed more rapidly than currently expected, or may be insufficient for our business needs for many reasons, including as a result of our operational cash needs, capital expenditures, and litigation related costs not covered by, or above the limits set forth in, our insurance. In addition, we are subject to covenants under our ABL Facility which could limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness or impact our ability to pursue other financing. If we do not generate sufficient cash from operations, if our capital resources are consumed more rapidly than expected, or if we no longer have access to additional funds under our ABL Facility and we are unable to secure additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some of our sales and marketing efforts, research and development activities, or other operations; or delay development of our tests in an effort to provide sufficient funds to continue our operations. If any of these events occurs, our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals could be adversely affected.

As a result, we may need or want to raise additional financing. We may not be able to secure such financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, we are subject to covenants under our ABL Facility which could limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness or impact our ability to pursue other financing. Our ability to raise capital through equity or equity-based financing may also be constrained by the current price of our common stock, and any such financing could result in dilution to existing stockholders. If we do not gene rate sufficient cash from operations, if our capital resources are consumed more rapidly than expected, or if we no longer have access to additional funds under our ABL Facility and we are unable to secure additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some of our sales and marketing efforts, research and development activities, or other operations; or delay development of our tests in an effort to provide sufficient funds to continue our operations. If any of these events occurs, our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals could be adversely affected.
Previous wording
From time to time, we enter into purchase commitments or other agreements that may materially impact our liquidity position in future periods. In April 2024, we entered into an amendment of our lease in west Salt Lake City, Utah to include approximately 63,000 additional square feet. The lease has a term of 12 years, which is expected to commence in the second half of 2026. Total future rent payments for the additional space are approximately $18.2 million.

Previous wording
Third-party payors, including state and federal health care programs such as Medicare, managed care organizations, and other private health insurers, are increasingly attempting to contain health care costs by limiting or denying coverage for certain tests and reducing reimbursement rates for both new and existing tests. We have experienced and may continue to experience coverage limitations or denials for many of our products. For example, on November 1, 2024, UnitedHealthcare updated its medical policy for pharmacogenetic testing to no longer provide coverage for certain multi-gene panel pharmacogenetic tests, including our GeneSight test, under its commercial and individual exchange benefit plans, effective January 1, 2025. We recognized approximately $40.0 million in revenue for GeneSight volume from UnitedHealthcare under these commercial and individual exchange plans during the last twelve months ended September 30, 2024. While we are still assessing the full impact of UnitedHealthcare's change in its GeneSight coverage policy, including our ability to offset the loss in GeneSight coverage, we anticipate that this change would negatively impact our revenue, profitability and cash flow in fiscal year 2025 and thereafter.

The change in UnitedHealthcare coverage has negatively impacted our revenue, profitability, and cash flow in the first quarter of 2025 and we expect that these negative impacts will continue into future periods.

The following table represents the balances of cash and cash equivalents securities as of the dates set forth in the table below:
Previous wording
The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable investment securities as of September 30, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by $15.3 million in cash used by operations, $15.4 million in cash used for capital expenditures, $8.4 million in cash used for the capitalization of internal-use software, and $9.2 million in cash used for the payment of withholding tax for the issuance of common stock, net of proceeds from the issuance of common stock. The decrease in cash was partially offset by $8.8 million in cash received from the sale of our EndoPredict business.
Current wording
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by $16.3 million in cash used by operations, $5.3 million in cash used for capital expenditures, $3.0 million in cash used for the capitalization of internal-use software, and $5.8 million in cash used for the payment of withholding tax for the issuance of common stock, net of proceeds from the issuance of common stock. The decrease in cash was partially offset by $19.5 million increase in net borrowings under the ABL Facility.
Previous wording
The decrease in cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to proceeds of $40.0 million under the ABL Facility in the prior year period.
Current wording
Cash flows from financing activities increased $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to cash flows used in financing activities in the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the incremental borrowing of $19.5 million from the ABL Facility.
Previous wording
While inflation continues to return to more moderate levels in 2024, inflation has had, and may continue to have, an impact on the labor costs we incur to attract and retain qualified personnel, costs to generate sales and produce testing results, and costs of laboratory supplies. Inflationary costs have impacted our profitability and may continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, increased inflation has had, and may continue to have, an effect on interest rates. An increase in interest rates in the future may adversely affect our borrowing rate and our ability to obtain, or the terms under which we can obtain, additional funding.
Current wording
While inflation returned to more moderate levels in 2024 and 2025, inflation has had, and may continue to have, an impact on the labor costs we incur to attract and retain qualified personnel, costs to generate sales and produce testing results, and costs of laboratory supplies. If inflation were to increase it may negatively impact our profitability and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, increased inflation has had, and may continue to have, an effect on interest rates. An increase in interest rates in the future may adversely affect our borrowing rate and our ability to obtain, or the terms under which we can obtain, additional funding. Furthermore, to the extent tariffs imposed by the United States affect our costs, we may not be able to pass on any portion of the cost increase to our customers.

In addition, by investing in technology-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 are committed to making molecular testing accessible and actionable for patients and providers while driving long-term growth and profitability.

Our tax rate is the product of a U.S. federal effective rate of 21.0% and a blended state income tax rate of approximately 3.4%. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized during the period in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from period to period.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are discussed below.
Previous report — wording carried elsewhere
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.4 million and our effective tax rate was (0.5)%. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.2 million and our effective tax rate was (1.0)%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our recognized effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of valuation allowances. Due to our cumulative loss and the exhaustion of future taxable income from the reversal of taxable temporary differences, our estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year includes a valuation allowance against the majority of the current year increase in deferred tax assets.
