NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Business
Nature of the Business
NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “NeoGenomics”), and its subsidiaries provide a wide range of oncology diagnostic testing and consultative services which includes technical laboratory services and professional interpretation of laboratory test results by licensed physicians who specialize in pathology and oncology. The Company operates a network of cancer-focused testing laboratories in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Parent and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. These principles require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates, judgments and assumptions. Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions used in these Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited, to those related to revenues, accounts receivable and related allowances, contingencies, useful lives and recovery of long-term assets and intangible assets, income taxes and valuation allowances, stock-based compensation, impairment analysis of goodwill, and restructuring reserves. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of material revisions in estimates are reflected on the Consolidated Financial Statements prospectively from the date of the change in estimate.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company determines whether investments in affiliates are a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) at the start of each new venture and when a reconsideration event has occurred. A reporting entity must consolidate a VIE if that reporting entity has a variable interest (or combination of variable interests) and is determined to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Segment Reporting
The Company has historically reported its activities intwo reportable segments, (1) Clinical Services and (2) Advanced Diagnostics. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company simplified its operational approach, bringing itstwo primary segments under a single segment. Please refer to Note 16. Segment Information, for further information about the segment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, certain cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and contract liabilities are considered reasonable estimates of their respective fair values due to their short-term nature.
The Company measures its marketable securities at fair value on a recurring basis. Please refer to Note 3. Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that the Company believes to be of high credit standing. The Company believes that, as of December 31, 2024, its concentration of credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents was not significant.

Marketable Securities
The Company classifies all marketable securities as available-for-sale, including those with maturity dates beyond 12 months, and therefore these securities are classified within current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are available to support current operational liquidity needs.
Marketable securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized holding gains and losses, net of income taxes, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. The Company evaluates its marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. Unrealized losses are charged against net earnings when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary, such as the length and extent of the fair value decline, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether there is the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell before the securities’ anticipated recovery. There were no other-than-temporary impairments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Regardless of the intent to sell a security, the Company performs additional analysis on all securities with unrealized losses to evaluate losses associated with the creditworthiness of the security. Credit losses are recorded when the Company does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of a security.
For the purposes of computing realized and unrealized gains and losses, cost and fair value are determined on a specific identification basis.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable related to clinical services are reported based on the amount expected to be collected, which considers implicit price concessions. Implicit price concessions represent differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration the Company expects to receive based on negotiated discounts, historical collection experience, and other anticipated adjustments, including anticipated payer denials.
For pharmaceutical development services and oncology data solutions, the Company negotiates billing schedules and payment terms on a contract-by-contract basis which can include payments based on certain milestones being achieved.
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of testing supplies and are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess or obsolescence and writes-down obsolete or otherwise unmarketable inventories to their estimated net realizable value.
Prepaid Assets
The Company records a prepaid expense for costs paid but not yet incurred. Those expected to be incurred within one year are recorded as prepaid assets within total current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any costs expected to be incurred outside of one year are recorded as other assets within total non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other Current Assets
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, other current assets consisted primarily of deposits, receivables related to research and development (“R&D”) tax credits related to operations in the United Kingdom, interest receivable, contract assets and other non-trade receivables.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the related lease terms or their estimated useful lives. Costs incurred in connection with the development of internal-use software are capitalized in accordance with the accounting standard for internal-use software, and are amortized over the expected useful life of the software.
The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Changes to the estimated useful lives are recorded prospectively from the date of the change. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation, are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in loss from operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and are included in cost of revenue, general and administrative expenses or R&D expenses, as appropriate in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Leases
The Company leases corporate offices and laboratory spaces throughout the world, all of which are classified as operating leases expiring at various dates and generally having terms ranging from 1 to 20 years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Some of the Company’s real estate lease agreements include options to either renew or early terminate the lease. Leases with renewal options allow the Company to extend the lease term typically between 1 and 5 years. When it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise an option to renew or terminate a lease, these options are considered in determining the classification and measurement of the lease at lease commencement.
Lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term and assessed as of the commencement date. Incentives received from landlords, such as reimbursements for tenant improvements and rent abatement periods, effectively reduce the total lease payments owed for leases.
Certain real estate leases also include executory costs such as common area maintenance (non-lease component), as well as property insurance and property taxes (non-components). Lease payments, which may include lease components, non-lease components and non-components, are included in the measurement of the Company’s lease liabilities to the extent that such payments are either fixed amounts or variable amounts based on a rate or index (fixed in substance), as stipulated in the lease contract. Any actual costs in excess of such amounts are expensed as incurred as variable lease cost.
The Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate by lease term in order to calculate the present value of its future lease payments when the implicit rates in the leases agreements are not readily determinable. The discount rate represents a risk-adjusted rate on a secured basis and is the rate at which the Company would borrow funds to satisfy the scheduled lease liability payment streams commensurate with the lease term.
Operating lease costs represent fixed lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease costs include an immaterial amount of variable lease costs and are recorded in cost of revenue, general and administrative, sales and marketing, and R&D expenses (depending on the nature of the leased asset) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets with determinable useful lives are recorded initially at acquired fair value or cost, less accumulated amortization. Each intangible asset with a determinable useful life is amortized over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The Company periodically reviews the estimated pattern in which the economic benefits will be consumed and adjusts the amortization period and pattern to match the estimate. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are recorded initially at fair value or cost and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, no impairment losses related to intangible assets with indefinite useful lives were recorded.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company’s intangible assets were comprised of client relationships, trade names and trademarks, marketing assets, and developed technology.
Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets (including definite-lived intangible assets) if events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired. Evaluation of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the asset from the expected future pretax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If the expected undiscounted pretax cash flows are less than the carrying amount of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value to the carrying amount of the asset. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized $0.1 million, $3.4 million, and $0.7 million, respectively, of impairment charges to facility-related assets within restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For further details on the Company’s restructuring activities, please refer to Note 10. Restructuring.
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value
| Table of Contents | NEOGENOMICS, INC. |
|---|
of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management performs a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The quantitative analysis is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value is greater than the estimate of fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount in which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. The Company has determined that it hastwo reporting units, Clinical Services and Advanced Diagnostics. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s evaluation of goodwill resulted inno impairment losses.
Contingencies
The Company accrues contingent losses when estimated impacts of various conditions, situations or circumstances involve uncertain outcomes. Contingent losses are recorded based on management judgment along with internal and external advice from legal counsel and/or technical consultants. Estimated losses from contingencies are recorded when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available before the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued) indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If some amount within a range of loss appears at the time to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount shall be accrued. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, however, the minimum amount in the range shall be accrued. Please refer to Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies, for further discussion.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs related to convertible senior notes are recorded as deductions that net against the principal value of the debt and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs related to term loans are recorded as direct deductions from the carrying amount of the term loan and are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs relating to line of credit arrangements are recorded as assets and amortized over the term of the credit arrangement regardless of whether any outstanding borrowing existed. Please refer to Note 7. Debt, for further information on debt issuance costs.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company measures compensation expense for stock-based awards to employees, non-employee contracted physicians, and directors based upon the awards’ initial grant-date fair values. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance awards is recorded over the requisite service period in cost of revenue, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, and sales and marketing expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For awards with only a service condition, the Company expenses stock-based compensation using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for the entire award. For awards with a market condition, the Company expenses the grant date fair value at the target over the vesting period regardless of the value that the award recipients ultimately receive. The fair values of stock option grants are estimated as of the date of grant by applying the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of restricted stock with a market condition is estimated at the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or restricted stock, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The fair value of restricted stock without a market condition is estimated using the current market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
Black-Scholes is affected by the stock price on the date of the grant as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include the expected term of the option, expected risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of common stock, and expected dividend yield; each of which is described below. The assumptions for expected term and expected volatility are the two assumptions that significantly affect the grant date fair value.
Expected Term: The expected term of an option is determined using the simplified method under SAB 107 which represents the average between the vesting term and the contractual term. The Company utilizes the simplified method to determine the expected life of the options due to insufficient exercise activity during recent years.
Risk-free Interest Rate: The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes model is based on the implied yield at the grant date of the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with an equivalent term to the stock-based award being valued. Where the expected term of a stock-based award does not correspond with the term for which a zero coupon interest rate is quoted, the Company uses the nearest interest rate from available maturities.
| Table of Contents | NEOGENOMICS, INC. |
|---|
Expected Stock Price Volatility: The Company uses its own historical weekly volatility because that is more reflective of market conditions.
Dividend Yield: Because the Company has never paid a dividend and does not expect to begin doing so in the foreseeable future, the Company assumed no dividend yield in valuing the stock-based awards.
The fair value of the performance stock units (“PSUs”) subject to a market condition granted during the year ended December 31, 2024 was estimated as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation, which requires management to make assumptions regarding risk-free interest rates and volatility of the Company’s stock price. The Monte Carlo simulation incorporates the same assumptions as Black-Scholes as to stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company utilized the expected life of the PSUs for the expected term of the award, as the vesting term and contractual term of the awards are identical.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s specialized clinical services are performed based on a written test requisition form or electronic equivalent. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenues are recognized at the point in time the clinical services have been performed and the results have been delivered to the ordering physician. These clinical services are billed to various payers, including client direct billing, commercial insurance, Medicare and other government payers, and patients. Revenue is recorded for all payers based on the amount expected to be collected, which considers implicit price concessions. Implicit price concessions represent differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration the Company expects to receive based on negotiated discounts, historical collection experience, and other anticipated adjustments, including anticipated payer denials.
For the Company's pharmaceutical development services, the Company generally enters into contracts with pharmaceutical and biotech clients as well as other CROs to provide research and clinical trial services. Such services also include validation studies and assay development. The Company records revenue on a unit-of-service basis based on the number of units completed towards the satisfaction of a performance obligation. In addition, certain contracts include upfront fees and the revenue for those contracts is recognized over time as services are performed.
Additional offerings within the Company's portfolio includes oncology data solutions, which involves the licensing of de-identified data to pharmaceutical and biotech clients in the form of either retrospective records or prospective deliveries of data. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of retrospective data or over time for prospective data feeds. The Company negotiates billing schedules and payment terms on a contract-by-contract basis. Contract terms generally provide for payments based on a unit-of-service arrangement and are primarily short-term.
Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are deferred as contract liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The associated revenue is recognized and the contract liability is reduced as the contracted services are subsequently performed. Contract assets are established for revenue recognized but not yet billed. These contract assets are reduced once the client is invoiced and a corresponding receivable is recorded. Additionally, the Company incurs sales commissions in the process of obtaining contracts with clients. Sales commissions that are payable upon contract award are recognized as assets and amortized over the expected contract term. The amortization of commission expense is based on the weighted average contract duration for all commissionable awards in the respective business in which the commission expense is paid, which approximates the period over which goods and services are transferred to the client. For short-term contracts, the Company applies the practical expedient which allows costs to obtain a contract to be expensed when incurred, if the amortization period of the assets that would otherwise have been recognized is one year or less. Contract assets and capitalized commissions are included in other current assets and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Most contracts are terminable by the clients, either immediately or according to advance notice terms specified within the contracts. All contracts require payment of fees to the Company for services rendered through the date of termination and may require payment for subsequent services necessary to conclude the study or close out the contract.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes compensation and benefit costs for performing tests, project management, depreciation of laboratory equipment and laboratory leasehold improvements, rent for laboratory facilities, laboratory reagents, probes and supplies, delivery and courier costs relating to the transportation of specimens to be tested, amortization for acquired intangible assets, and stock-based compensation. The expenses related to shipping specimens to the facilities for testing, includes costs incurred for contract couriers, commercial airline flights, and courier charges. The Company also incurs expenses returning samples and slides to its clients. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded shipping expenses of
| Table of Contents | NEOGENOMICS, INC. |
|---|
approximately $17.6 million, $18.4 million, and $19.6 million, respectively as cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of compensation and benefit costs for the Company’s billing, finance, human resources, information technology, other administrative personnel, and stock-based compensation. The Company also includes professional services, facilities expense, IT infrastructure costs, depreciation, amortization, and other administrative-related costs in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Research and Development Expenses
R&D costs are expensed as incurred. R&D expenses consist of compensation and benefit costs, laboratory supplies, depreciation of laboratory equipment, costs for samples to complete validation studies, and stock-based compensation. These expenses are primarily incurred to develop new genetic tests. R&D expenses are presented net of R&D tax and expenditure credits from the UK government, which are recognized over the period necessary to match the reimbursement with the related costs when it is probable that the Company has complied with any conditions attached and will receive the reimbursement.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses are primarily attributable to employee-related costs including sales management, sales representatives, sales and marketing consultants, marketing and client service personnel, and stock-based compensation. Advertising costs are expensed at the time they are incurred and are deemed immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Restructuring charges
Restructuring charges relate to a restructuring program to improve execution and drive efficiency across the organization. Restructuring charges consist of severance and other employee costs, costs for optimizing the Company’s geographic presence, and consulting and other costs. For further details on the Company’s restructuring activities, please refer to Note 10. Restructuring.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between financial statement and tax bases of the assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.
We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all positive and negative evidence. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company evaluates tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken in its tax returns and records a liability for uncertain tax positions, if deemed necessary. The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. First, tax positions are recognized if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Second, the tax position is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.
We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters, including unrecognized tax benefits, as a component of income tax expense.
Net Loss per Common Share
The Company calculates basic net (loss) income per share attributable to common stockholders by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period, plus the dilutive effect of potential common stock. Potential common stock consists of shares issuable pursuant to stock options and
| Table of Contents | NEOGENOMICS, INC. |
|---|
convertible notes, as well as nonvested restricted stock awards and performance stock units which are not considered outstanding with respect to the weighted average common shares outstanding in the calculation of basic net (loss) income per share. Potentially dilutive shares are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the Company’s outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards. Potentially dilutive shares issuable upon conversion of the 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 and the 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 are calculated using the if-converted method.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy has been established based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including its marketable securities and certain cash equivalents. The Company considers all securities available-for-sale, including those with maturity dates beyond 12 months, and therefore these securities are classified within current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are available to support current operational liquidity needs. The money market accounts are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets and are included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The marketable securities are generally valued based on other observable inputs for those securities (including market corroborated pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves) based on information provided by
| Table of Contents | NEOGENOMICS, INC. |
|---|
independent third-party pricing entities, except for U.S. Treasury securities which are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.

2028 Convertible Senior Notes
On January 11, 2021, the Company completed the sale of $345.0 million of Convertible Senior Notes with a stated interest rate of 0.25% and a maturity date of January 15, 2028 (the “2028 Convertible Notes”), unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The 2028 Convertible Notes were issued at a discounted price of 97.0% of their principal amount. The total net proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Convertible Notes and exercise of the over-allotment option was approximately $334.4 million, which includes approximately $10.6 million of discounts, commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company. On January 11, 2021, the Company entered into an indenture (the “2021 Indenture”), with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), governing the 2028 Convertible Notes. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the Offerings to enter into capped call transactions (as described below under the heading “Capped Call Transactions”).
Prior to September 15, 2027, noteholders may convert their 2028 Convertible Notes at their option, only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130.0% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during thefive business day period after anyfive consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98.0% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after
| Table of Contents | NEOGENOMICS, INC. |
|---|
September 15, 2027 until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date, noteholders may convert their 2028 Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock was not greater than or equal to 130.0% of the conversion price of the 2028 Convertible Notes on at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Based on the terms of the 2028 Convertible Notes, the holders could not have converted all or a portion of their 2028 Convertible Notes in the fourth quarter of 2024. The last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock was not greater than or equal to 130.0% of the conversion price of the 2028 Convertible Notes on at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Based on the terms of the 2028 Convertible Notes, the holders cannot convert all or a portion of their 2028 Convertible Notes in the first quarter of 2025. When a conversion notice is received, the Company has the option to pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof. As the Company is not required to settle the 2028 Convertible Notes in cash, the 2028 Convertible Notes are classified as long-term debt as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not received any conversion notices.
Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate for the 2028 Convertible Notes is 15.1172 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $66.15 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described in the 2021 Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date as described in the 2021 Indenture, the Company will pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2028 Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances. The value of the 2028 Convertible Notes, if converted, does not exceed the principal amount based on a closing stock price of $16.48 on December 31, 2024.
The Company may not redeem the 2028 Convertible Notes prior to January 20, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after January 20, 2025 if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130.0% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of notice by the Company of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2028 Convertible Notes.
If an event involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the 2028 Convertible Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable. If any other default event occurs and is continuing, then noteholders of at least 25.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the 2028 Convertible Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. If the Company undergoes a Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2021 Indenture), then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2028 Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the 2021 Indenture).
The 2028 Convertible Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and will be equal in right of payment with its existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to its existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the 2028 Convertible Notes and effectively junior to its existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The 2028 Convertible Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of its subsidiaries.
The interest expense recognized on the 2028 Convertible Notes includes $0.9 million, $1.5 million and $34,000 for the contractual coupon interest, the amortization of the debt discount and the amortization of the debt issuance costs, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The interest expense recognized on the 2028 Convertible Notes includes $0.9 million, $1.5 million and $34,000 for the contractual coupon interest, the amortization of the debt discount and the amortization of the debt issuance costs, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023. The effective interest rate on the 2028 Convertible Notes is 0.70%, which includes the interest on the 2028 Convertible Notes and amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs. The 2028 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, which began on July 15, 2021.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the 2028 Convertible Notes offering, on January 11, 2021, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “Capped Call Transactions”) with option counterparties
| Table of Contents | NEOGENOMICS, INC. |
|---|
pursuant to capped call confirmations at a cost of approximately $29.3 million. As the Capped Call Transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Capped Call Transactions were classified as equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and were recorded as a reduction of the Company’s additional paid-in capital in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. The Capped Call Transactions are not part of the terms of the 2028 Convertible Notes and will not affect any holders’ rights under the 2028 Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the 2028 Convertible Notes. The number of shares underlying the Capped Call Transactions is 5.2 million.
The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions is initially $85.75 per share of the Company’s common stock, which represents a premium of 75.0% over the public offering price of the common stock in the 2021 Common Stock Offering, which was $49.00 per share, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions.
By entering into the Capped Call Transactions, the Company expects to reduce the potential dilution to its common stock (or, in the event a conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes is settled in cash, to reduce its cash payment obligation) in the event that, at the time of conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes, its common stock price exceeds the conversion price of the 2028 Convertible Notes.
2025 Convertible Senior Notes
On May 4, 2020, the Company completed the sale of $201.3 million of convertible senior notes with a stated interest rate of 1.25% and a maturity date of May 1, 2025 (the “2025 Convertible Notes”), unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The 2025 Convertible Notes were issued at a discounted price of 97.0% of their principal amount.

On or after February 1, 2025 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, noteholders may convert their 2025 Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock was not greater than or equal to 130.0% of the conversion price of the 2025 Convertible Notes on at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Based on the terms of the 2025 Convertible Notes, the holders could not have converted all or a portion of their 2025 Convertible Notes in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Stock Options
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, a total of approximately 5.3 million and 7.6 million shares, respectively, were available for future option and stock awards under the 2023 Plan. Options typically expire after 7 or 10 years and generally vest over 3 or 4 years. Each grant’s expiration, vesting, and exercise price provisions are determined at the time the awards are granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
The fair value of each stock award granted during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were estimated as of the grant date using a Black-Scholes model. Weighted average assumptions used during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected term (in years) | 5.1 – 6.5 | 4.0 – 6.5 | 3.0 – 5.5 |
| Risk-free interest rate (%) | 3.5% - 4.6% | 3.3% - 4.7% | 1.4% - 4.5% |

The total fair value of option shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $8.6 million, $6.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively.
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense using the straight-line basis over the awards’ requisite service periods. As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $11.7 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the 2023 Plan, the Form of Stand-Alone Inducement Restricted Stock Agreement and Form of Stand-Alone Inducement Stock Option Agreement entered into by the Company and Mr. Christopher M. Smith (collectively, the “CEO Inducement Award”), and the Form of Stand-Alone Inducement Restricted Stock Agreement and Form of Stand-Alone Inducement Stock Option Agreement entered into by the Company and Mr. Jeffrey S. Sherman (collectively, the “CFO Inducement Award”). This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.
Restricted Stock Awards
The number of shares and weighted average grant date fair values of restricted nonvested common stock at the beginning and end of 2024, 2023 and 2022, as well as stock awards granted, vested, and forfeited during the year were as follows:

The total fair value of restricted stock vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $9.6 million, $8.7 million and $13.7 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $13.4 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock granted under the 2023 Plan, the CEO Inducement Award and the CFO Inducement Award. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
The Company granted 194,257 PSUs subject to a performance condition and 194,256 PSUs subject to a market condition with an aggregated grant date fair value of approximately $3.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024. If the performance targets are achieved, the awards will vest at the end of thethree-year requisite service period so long as the employee remains employed with the Company through the applicable vesting date. For PSUs subject to a performance condition, compensation cost is recognized straight-line over the requisite service period if the achievement of the performance condition is probable. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has determined it is probable that the performance condition will be met. For PSUs subject to a market condition, compensation cost is recognized straight-line over the requisite service period, regardless of when, if ever, the market condition is satisfied.
A summary of the PSU activity under the Company’s plans for the year ended December 31, 2024 is as follows:
| Number of Stock Units | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|

| Weighted average grant date fair value per share | $17.43 |
As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $7.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested PSUs that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.
Modifications of Stock Option and Restricted Stock Awards
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Culture and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the accelerated vesting of 69,049 previously granted time-vesting stock option awards and 41,693 previously granted time-vesting restricted stock awards upon the exit of certain officers of the Company. The Company accounted for the effects of the stock awards as modifications, and recognized $0.6 million of stock-based compensation upon acceleration, which consisted of $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the acceleration of stock option awards and restricted stock awards, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024. These amounts are included in stock compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 and are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Culture and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the accelerated vesting of 101,937 previously granted time-vesting stock option awards and 61,746 previously granted time-vesting restricted stock awards upon the exit of certain officers of the Company. The Company accounted for the effects of the stock awards as modifications, and recognized $0.9 million of stock-based compensation upon acceleration, which consisted of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the acceleration of stock option awards and restricted stock awards, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023. These amounts are included in stock compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), under which eligible employees can purchase common stock at a 15.0% discount from the fair market value. Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Shares issued pursuant to this plan were 312,444,326,697 and 415,450 for each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Note 9. Revenue Recognition
The Company’s specialized clinical services are performed based on a written test requisition form or electronic equivalent. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenues are recognized at the point in time the clinical services have been performed and the results have been delivered to the ordering physician. These clinical services are billed to various payers, including client direct billing, commercial insurance, Medicare and other government payers, and patients. Revenue is recorded for all payers based on the amount expected to be collected, which considers implicit price concessions. Implicit price concessions represent differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration the Company expects to receive based on negotiated discounts, historical collection experience, and other anticipated adjustments, including anticipated payer denials.
For the Company's pharmaceutical development services, the Company generally enters into contracts with pharmaceutical and biotech clients as well as other CROs to provide research and clinical trial services. Such services also include validation studies and assay development. The Company records revenue on a unit-of-service basis based on the number of units completed towards the satisfaction of a performance obligation. In addition, certain contracts include upfront fees and the revenue for those contracts is recognized over time as services are performed.
| Table of Contents | NEOGENOMICS, INC. |
|---|
Additional offerings within the Company's portfolio includes oncology data solutions, which involves the licensing of de-identified data to pharmaceutical and biotech clients in the form of either retrospective records or prospective deliveries of data. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of retrospective data or over time for prospective data feeds. The Company negotiates billing schedules and payment terms on a contract-by-contract basis. Contract terms generally provide for payments based on a unit-of-service arrangement and are primarily short-term.
Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are deferred as contract liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The associated revenue is recognized and the contract liability is reduced as the contracted services are subsequently performed. Contract assets are established for revenue recognized but not yet billed. These contract assets are reduced once the client is invoiced and a corresponding receivable is recorded. Additionally, the Company incurs sales commissions in the process of obtaining contracts with clients. Sales commissions that are payable upon contract award are recognized as assets and amortized over the expected contract term. The amortization of commission expense is based on the weighted average contract duration for all commissionable awards in the respective business in which the commission expense is paid, which approximates the period over which goods and services are transferred to the client. For short-term contracts, the Company applies the practical expedient which allows costs to obtain a contract to be expensed when incurred, if the amortization period of the assets that would otherwise have been recognized is one year or less. Contract assets and capitalized commissions are included in other current assets and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Most contracts are terminable by the clients, either immediately or according to advance notice terms specified within the contracts. All contracts require payment of fees to the Company for services rendered through the date of termination and may require payment for subsequent services necessary to conclude the study or close out the contract.
The following table summarizes the values of contract assets, capitalized commissions, and contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, related to contract liability balances outstanding at the beginning of each year was $1.6 million, $6.4 million, and $5.2 million, respectively. Amortization of capitalized commissions for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $1.1 million, $1.0 million and $0.9 million respectively.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company considered various factors in determining appropriate levels of homogeneous data for its disaggregation of revenue; including the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. The categories align with the types of clients due to similarities of billing method, level of reimbursement, and timing of cash receipts. Unbilled amounts are accrued and allocated to payer categories based on historical experience. In future periods actual billings by payer category may differ from accrued amounts.

Note 10. Restructuring
In 2022, the Company embarked on a restructuring program to improve execution and drive efficiency across the organization. This program is a framework for identifying, prioritizing and executing operational improvements. Restructuring charges incurred consist of severance and other employee costs, costs for optimizing the Company’s geographic presence (“Facility Footprint Optimization”), and consulting and other costs.

At December 31, 2024, the Company has federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $254.7 million, foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $231.2 million, including $216.6 million in the United Kingdom, and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $174.6 million. Federal net operating loss (“NOLs”) carry forwards will begin to expire in 2034. Under the Tax Act, as modified by the CARES Act, the Company’s federal NOLs generated in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely, however, the deductibility of such federal net NOLs in tax years beginning after December 31, 2020, is limited to 80% of taxable income. State tax NOLs began to expire in 2026. NOLs in Switzerland and China begin to expire in 2029 and 2026, respectively, if not utilized in future periods. The NOLs in Singapore and the United Kingdom do not expire. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has federal R&D and other credit carryforwards of approximately $8.3 million that begin to expire in 2036 and state research and investment credit carryforwards of approximately $5.7 million that do not expire.
An ownership change of more than 50 percent could result in a limitation of the use of net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards under IRC Section 382, IRC Section 383, and the regulations thereunder. Based on a completed formal study, there were no ownership changes in prior periods that would materially limit the use of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards under IRC Section 382 and IRC Section 383.
Management assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets as of the end of each quarter, weighing all positive and negative evidence, and is required to establish and maintain a valuation allowance for these assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the evidence can be objectively verified. If negative evidence exists, positive evidence is necessary to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, management determined that sufficient positive evidence did not exist and concluded that it is more likely than not that a valuation allowance is required against deferred tax assets. Accordingly, for 2024, management established a valuation allowance of $67.2 million related to the Company’s domestic operations, a valuation of $14.1 million related to the Company's United Kingdom operations, and a full valuation allowance of $2.8 million related to the Company’s China, Switzerland and Singapore operations.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States, as well as Singapore, Switzerland, China, United Kingdom and in various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment. For U.S. federal purposes, the Company has open tax years ended December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2024. For the United Kingdom the Company has open tax years ended December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024.

The Company applied the accounting standard for uncertain tax positions and recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. Increases or decreases to the unrecognized tax benefits could result from management’s belief that a position can or cannot be sustained upon examination based on subsequent information or potential lapse of the applicable statute of limitation for certain tax positions.
The following are the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 (in thousands):
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unrecognized tax benefits - January 1 | $7,953 | $3,159 | $2,351 |
| Increases in prior year positions | — | — | 82 |
| Reversals of prior year positions | (1,010) | — | — |
| Increases in tax positions taken in current year | 5,451 | 4,794 | 726 |
| Statute expirations | — | — | — |
| Unrecognized tax benefits - December 31 | $12,394 | $7,953 | $3,159 |
Due to the valuation allowance, the majority of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024, if recognized, would not impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefit are immaterial. Interest and tax penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included in income tax expense. Although the timing and outcome of audit settlements are uncertain, it is unlikely there will be a significant reduction of the uncertain tax benefits in the next twelve months.
Note 12. Net Loss per Share
The Company presents both basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised, stock awards vested and if the 2028 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes were converted. The potential dilution from stock awards is accounted for using the treasury stock method based on the average market value of the Company’s common stock. The potential dilution from conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes is accounted for using the if-converted method, which requires that all of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the 2025 Convertible Notes will be included in the calculation of diluted EPS assuming conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the 2025 Convertible Notes at the beginning of the reporting period (or at time of issuance, if later).
The following table shows the calculations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

These purchase commitments expire in 2025. The purchase commitments as of December 31, 2024, are as follows (in thousands):
| Years ending December 31, | |
|---|---|
| 2025 | $782 |

On January 20, 2021, Natera, Inc. filed a patent infringement complaint against the Company’s subsidiary Inivata Limited and its subsidiary Inivata, Inc. in U.S. District Court for the district of Delaware, alleging Inivata’s InVisionFirst®-Lung cancer diagnostic test of infringingtwo patents. Natera then filed a second patent infringement complaint on December 20, 2022 against Inivata Limited and Inivata, Inc. alleging that RaDaR® minimal residual disease test infringesone patent. The case is in discovery and the jury trial has been scheduled for October 6, 2025. On March 6, 2024, the parties stipulated to stay both Delaware cases until the North Carolina litigation is resolved. On March 7, 2024, the district court judge in Delaware ordered the cases stayed.
On July 29, 2023, Natera filed a complaint in the Middle District of North Carolina alleging NeoGenomics' RaDaR® test infringes ontwo patents, U.S. Patent No. 11,530,454 (“the ‘454 Patent”), and U.S. Patent No. 11,519,035 (“the ‘035 Patent”). On July 31, 2023, Natera moved for a preliminary injunction. On December 27, 2023, the district court issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the Company from making, using, selling or offering the RaDaR®1.0 assay on the basis of a likelihood of infringement of the ‘035 Patent. Natera posted a $10 million bond with the court on January 12, 2024 and the preliminary injunction went into effect. The injunction specifically allows patients already using RaDaR® 1.0 to continue their use. In addition, the order explicitly allows research projects and studies that are in progress, as well as clinical trials that are in progress or have been approved, to continue. On December 28, 2023, NeoGenomics appealed the preliminary injunction to the Federal Circuit. On July 12, 2024, the Federal Circuit affirmed the injunction. On September 23, 2024, the Federal Circuit issued a Stipulated Permanent Injunction on the same terms as the preliminary injunction, consented to by both the Company and Natera and based on the partial settlement agreement entered into by the Company and Natera. The litigation related to the ‘454 Patent is in discovery and the trial is expected for October 2025. The Company recorded the settlement entered into

by the Company and Natera within general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, the impact of which was immaterial. On December 6, 2024, the Middle District of North Carolina granted Natera’s motion to amend its complaint to add counts alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 11,319,596 (“the ‘596 Patent”). On December 31, 2024, in response to the order to amend to include the ‘596 Patent, the Company filed a motion to deposetwo witnesses, which was subsequently granted by the court. The Company believes that it has good and substantial defenses to the claims alleged in these suits, but there is no guarantee that the Company will prevail. At the time of filing the outcome of these matters is not estimable or probable.
On December 16, 2022, a purported shareholder class action captioned Daniel Goldenberg v. NeoGenomics, Inc., Douglas VanOort, Mark Mallon, Kathryn McKenzie, and William Bonello was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, naming the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers as defendants (“the Goldenberg Matter”). This lawsuit was filed by a stockholder who claims to be suing on behalf of anyone who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between February 27, 2020 and April 26, 2022. The lawsuit alleges that material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact were made in the Company’s public disclosures in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The alleged improper disclosures relate to statements regarding the Company’s menu of tests, business operations and compliance with health care laws and regulations. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Goldenberg Matter on February 5, 2024 and the plaintiff filed its opposition to the motion on March 21, 2024. The parties are awaiting the court's ruling on the motion to dismiss. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and expert fees. On April 27, 2023, a shareholder of the Company filed a shareholder derivative action on behalf of the Company captioned Puskarich v. VanOort, et al. in Clark County Nevada, naming certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors as defendants. The allegations are substantially similar to the allegations asserted in the Goldenberg Matter. Substantially similar shareholder derivative actions were subsequently filed in Lee County, Florida and in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Wong v. VanOort, et al. and Mellema v. VanOort, et al., respectively. The court in each of these cases stayed the proceedings pending the outcome of the Goldenberg Matter. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to the claims alleged in the lawsuits, but there is no guarantee that the Company will prevail. At the time of filing the outcome of these matters is not estimable or probable.
Regulatory Matter
With the assistance of outside counsel, the Company voluntarily conducted an internal investigation that focused on the compliance of certain consulting and service agreements with federal healthcare laws and regulations, including those relating to fraud, waste and abuse. Based on this internal investigation, the Company voluntarily notified the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) of the Company’s internal investigation in November 2021. The Company’s interactions with regulatory authorities and the Company’s related review of this matter are ongoing. The Company has a reserve of $11.2 million in other long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for potential damages and liabilities primarily associated with the federal healthcare program revenue received by the Company in connection with the agreements at issue that were identified during the course of this internal investigation. This reserve reflects management’s best estimate of the minimum probable loss associated with this matter. As a result of the internal investigation and ongoing interactions with regulatory authorities, the Company may accrue additional reserves for any related potential damages and liabilities arising out of this matter. The Company was notified on June 30, 2022, that the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) will be participating in the investigation of this matter. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the duration, scope, result or related costs associated with any further investigation, including by the OIG, DOJ, or any other governmental authority, or what penalties or remedial actions they may seek. Accordingly, at this time, the Company is unable to estimate a range of possible loss in excess of the amount reserved. Any determination that the Company’s operations or activities are not in compliance with existing laws or regulations, however, could result in the imposition of civil or criminal fines, penalties, disgorgement, restitution, equitable relief, exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs or other losses or conduct restrictions, which could be material to the Company’s financial results or business operations.
