Actual events or results may differ from those expressed in forward-looking statements. As such, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, operating results, prospects, strategy, and financial needs. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. While we believe that such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or to reflect new information, actual results, revised expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to the “Company,” “Personalis,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Personalis, Inc. and our subsidiary, Personalis (UK) Ltd.
Summary of Risk Factors
The following is a summary of the principal risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of risk factors below under Item 1A, “Risk Factors."
Operational, Strategic and Business Risks
We have a history of losses and we expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.
If we are unable to increase sales of our current testing services or successfully develop and commercialize other services, or if we are unable to execute our sales and marketing strategy for our testing services or unable to gain sufficient acceptance in the market, or if we are unable to generate sufficient reimbursement or coverage by insurance or governmental payors for our testing services, we may fail to generate sufficient revenue to achieve profitability and sustain our business.
We have substantial customer concentration, with a limited number of customers accounting for a substantial portion of our revenue and accounts receivable; in particular, we currently derive a substantial portion of our revenue from two of our largest customers, Moderna and the VA MVP, and in the past have derived a substantial portion of our revenue from other large customers.
Building our clinical laboratory business is subject to a number of reimbursement challenges and we may not be able to establish the medical necessity of our tests for coverage or reimbursement rates that cover our costs.
We are pursuing a partner-centric strategy and have key relationships with Tempus, Myriad Genetics, Inc., Moderna, and Merck, among others. These and any other partnering and/or collaboration agreements that we have entered into or may enter into in the future may not be successful, or may terminate, which could adversely impact our business or affect our ability to develop and commercialize our testing services.
We rely on a limited number of suppliers, or in some cases, a sole supplier, for some laboratory instruments and materials, and we may not be able to replace or immediately transition to alternative suppliers should we need to do so.
International trade policies, including tariffs, sanctions and trade barriers may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We have a single facility and if it becomes damaged or inoperable, or we are required to vacate our facility, our ability to sell and provide our testing services and pursue research and development efforts may be jeopardized.
If we cannot develop testing services to keep pace with rapid advances in technology, medicine, and science our operating results and competitive position could be harmed.
Personalized cancer therapies represent new therapeutic approaches that could result in heightened regulatory scrutiny, delays in clinical development, or delays or inability to achieve regulatory approval, commercialization, or payor coverage, any of which could adversely affect our business.
The loss of key members of our executive management team or the inability to hire, retain, or motivate highly skilled personnel could adversely affect our business.
We may not be able to manage our future growth effectively, which could make it difficult to execute our business strategy.
We may acquire businesses or assets, form joint ventures, or make investments in other companies or technologies that could harm our operating results, dilute stockholders’ ownership, or cause us to incur debt or significant expense.
Regulatory, Legal and Cybersecurity Risks
Our tests may be subject to regulatory action if regulatory agencies or authorities determine that our tests do not appropriately comply with statutory and regulatory requirements enforced by the FDA, or equivalent foreign regulatory authorities and/or CLIA requirements for quality laboratory testing or equivalent foreign requirements.
Complying with numerous statutes and regulations pertaining to our business is an expensive and time-consuming process, and we may be subject to regulatory action if we or our service offerings do not comply with applicable requirements.
Our internal information technology systems, or those of our third-party vendors, contractors, or consultants, may fail or suffer security breaches, loss or leakage of data, and other disruptions, which could adversely affect our business.
Failure or perceived failure to comply with existing or future laws, regulations, contracts, self-regulatory schemes, standards, and other obligations related to data privacy and security (including security incidents) could harm our business. Compliance or the actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could increase the cost of our offerings, limit their use or adoption, and otherwise negatively affect our operating results and business.
Our employees may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, such as noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and other anti-bribery laws, which could cause significant liability for us and harm our reputation.
Changes in health care policy could increase our costs, decrease our revenue, and impact sales of and reimbursement for our tests. If we grow our business by developing additional in vitro diagnostic tests, we may be subject to reimbursement challenges.
Competitors could take legal action against us for statements that are made by the Company and/or its representatives, which may require us to spend significant time and money, including damages, and could limit our ability to market our tests.
Intellectual Property Risks
Litigation or other proceedings or claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, breach of license terms or other violations may require us to spend significant time and money, including damages, and could prevent us from selling our tests.
If we cannot license rights to use necessary technologies on reasonable terms, we may not be able to commercialize new services.
If we are not able to obtain, maintain and enforce patent protection for our testing services or technologies, our competitors and other third parties could develop and commercialize services and technologies similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our testing services and technologies may be adversely affected.
If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets and know-how, our business would be harmed.
Our use of “open source” software could subject our proprietary software to general release, adversely affect our ability to sell our testing services, and subject us to possible litigation.
If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest and our business may be adversely affected.
Financial and Market Risks and Risks Related to Owning Our Common Stock
Our inability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms in the future may limit our ability to continue to operate our business and further expand our operations.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline steeply or suddenly regardless of our operating performance, we may not be able to meet investor or analyst expectations, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly, which could adversely impact our common stock’s value.
Insiders or holders of greater than five percent of our outstanding common stock may exercise significant control over our company and will be able to influence corporate matters.
Future sales of shares by existing stockholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, could cause the stock price of our common stock to decline.
We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation of the value of our common stock.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
Delaware law and provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could make a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest difficult, thereby depressing the trading price of our common stock; our amended and restated certificate of incorporation has an exclusive forum provision, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.
Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.
