Equipment and Software Loans

In April 2021, the Company entered into a secured payment agreement with a financing entity to finance the purchase of $2.4 million of internal use software licenses and related software maintenance from a vendor. The financing entity and vendor are not related. The Company repaid the financed amount inthree equal payments of $0.8 million in May 2021, May 2022, and May 2023. The payment agreement was noninterest bearing and the Company concluded that such interest rate (zero) did not represent fair and adequate compensation to the financing entity for the use of the related funds. Accordingly, the Company approximated the rate at which it could obtain financing of a similar nature from other sources at the date of the transaction. The resulting imputed interest rate was 7% and was used to establish the present value of the payment agreement. The discount is recognized as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the life of the payment agreement.

The Company entered into two more secured payment agreements in April 2021 and July 2022, with the same financing entity, to finance the purchase of $3.1 million of computer hardware and related hardware maintenance and $1.3 million of internal use software licenses and related ongoing support, respectively. The Company is required to paythree equal payments of $1.0 million in July 2021, June 2022, and June 2023 for the first agreement, andthree equal payments of $0.4 million in September 2022, September 2023, and September 2024 for the second agreement. The nature of these agreements and resulting accounting treatment are the same as the payment agreement described in the preceding paragraph, except the imputed interest rate was 9% for the July 2022 agreement.

The total initial present value of the payment agreements was $6.4 million and presented as proceeds from loans in the financing activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. Such proceeds were used to purchase equipment, software, and related maintenance and are reflected as cash outflows in the investing and operating activities sections. Repayments are presented as financing cash outflows. Interest expense was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Lab Equipment Loan

In November 2023, the Company purchased lab equipment from one of its main vendors for $3.4 million. Extended payment terms were provided to the Company through a financial solutions partner of the vendor. Terms included a 30% down payment and 24 equal monthly payments for the remaining balance, with such monthly payments commencing in January 2024, and no interest or financing charges. Title for the lab equipment transferred immediately upon delivery to the Company. The financial solutions partner retains a security interest until payoff is complete at the end of 2025. The purchase price for the lab equipment was equal to the cash price and thus the impact of imputing interest would have been de minimis.

The total financed amount of $3.4 million is presented as proceeds from loans in the financing activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. Such amounts were used to purchase lab equipment and are reflected as cash outflows in the investing activities section. Repayments, including both the down payment and future monthly payments, are presented as financing cash outflows.
