Research and development activities are primarily conducted in facilities located in Weston, Massachusetts, Waterford, Ireland, Kiryat Gat, Israel, and Barcelona, Spain.
Current report
On March 27, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Labcorp (the “Labcorp Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Labcorp agreed to acquire select assets of BioReference (the “BioReference Transaction”). The BioReference Transaction closed on September 16, 2024, and upon closing, Labcorp paid to the Company aggregate consideration of $237.5 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Labcorp Asset Purchase Agreement. These assets were part of our diagnostics segment and included BioReference's laboratory testing businesses focused on clinical diagnostics, reproductive health, and women's health across the United States, excluding BioReference's New York and New Jersey operations.
Current report
Pursuant to the Labcorp Asset Purchase Agreement, a total of approximately $23.7 million was withheld at closing and deposited by Labcorp into an escrow account to satisfy potential indemnity claims. The escrow will be released to the Company on the twelve-month anniversary of the closing date, subject to any outstanding or liquidated indemnity claims. The Company recorded the escrow within other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Current report
We recognized a gain of $121.5 million from the BioReference Transaction for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Current report
Revenue. Revenue from services for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by approximately $34.6 million, or 7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a $42.5 million decrease in clinical test volume, largely attributable to the BioReference Transaction, offset by a $7.9 million increase in clinical test reimbursement rates.
Current report
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased $43.7 million, a decrease of 10% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Cost of revenue decreased primarily due to lower employee headcount, reflecting our continued cost-reduction initiatives implemented at BioReference, changes in the mix of testing ordered during the period, and by a decrease in consumption reflecting the timing of the BioReference Transaction.
Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $205.2 million and $202.3 million, respectively, representing an increase of 1% from the prior period. The increase in expense is primarily related to $26.3 million in severance charges associated with cost reduction initiatives and $9.7 million in adjustments to the life of certain leases. This was partially offset by continued cost-reduction initiatives at BioReference, which included a reduction in employee headcount and the streamlining of certain smaller operations, resulting in an overall decrease in employee-related expenses and other operating efficiencies. The divestiture of certain laboratory operations also contributed to the reduction in employee-related expenses.
Current report
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $16.9 million and $20.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to the BioReference Transaction, which impacted the amount of amortizable intangible assets.
Current report
Gain on sale of assets. Gain on sale of assets for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $121.5 million due to the BioReference Transaction which closed during the third quarter of 2024.
Current report
Revenue from products. Revenue from products for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased $12.5 million, or 7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in product revenue was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations of approximately $8.9 million from our international operations and a $2.0 million decrease inRayaldee sales. While we experienced higher sales volumes in 2024 compared to 2023, this increase was more than offset by unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations. Revenue from sales ofRayaldee for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $29.0 million compared to $31.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Current report
Revenue from transfer of intellectual property and other. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded $77.4 million in revenue from the transfer of intellectual property and other. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 principally reflects $30.0 million from Pfizer, which includes $28.3 million from gross profit share and royalty payments for both NGENLA (somatrogon) and Pfizer's Genotropin® (somatropin). Revenue in 2024 also included $23.8 million from the BARDA Contract, a $12.5 million milestone payment from Merck, and $10.2 million from contract manufacturers' commercial milestones.
Current report
In comparison, for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $180.7 million in revenue from the transfer of intellectual property and other. This was primarily driven by a $90.0 million milestone payment, triggered by the FDA approval of NGENLA (somatrogon), and $26.7 million in revenue that included $22.6 million from gross profit share and royalty payments for both NGENLA (somatrogon) and Pfizer's Genotropin® (somatropin). In 2023, revenue also included $50.0 million from Merck in consideration for the rights granted to Merck under the Merck Agreement, $7.0 million from VFMCRP triggered by the German price approval forRayaldee, $2.5 million from Nicoya due to Nicoya's submission of the investigational new drug application to China's Center for Drug Evaluation, $2.4 million from contract manufacturers' commercial milestones and $1.2 million from the BARDA Contract.
Current report
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by 7% to $92.5 million compared to $99.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was primarily driven by favorable foreign exchange fluctuations. Despite increased sales volumes during 2024, which typically increases cost of revenue, we were able to limit this increase due to a combination of factors, including favorable foreign currency fluctuations and a reduction inRayaldee's cost of revenue. Favorable foreign currency fluctuations positively impacted cost of revenue by approximately $6.1 million. The reduction inRayaldee's cost of revenue resulted from a lower standard cost per bottle, achieved through ongoing process improvements and favorable raw material pricing.
Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $58.0 million and $55.7 million, respectively, representing an increase of 4% from the prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to higher employee-related, professional, and legal expenses related to our international operations.
Current report
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, increased primarily due to growth in our BARDA collaboration and higher employee-related expenses. These increases were partially offset by a one-time payment to Sanofi of $12.5 million made in 2023 pursuant to the Sanofi In-License Agreement, which was triggered as a result of the Merck Agreement, and lower costs related to Somatrogon (hGH-CTP) following the closure of open-label extension studies in countries where it has received marketing authorization.
Current report
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $65.7 million and $65.8 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Amortization expense reflects the amortization of acquired intangible assets with defined useful lives. Our indefinite lived IPR&D assets will not be amortized until the underlying development programs are completed. Upon obtaining regulatory approval, IPR&D assets will be accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of approximately 12 years.
Current report
Interest income. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $8.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The increase reflects higher average cash and investment balances as a result of the cash received from the BioReference Transaction, the issuance of the 2044 Notes, and the sale of common stock of GeneDx Holdings Corp. (formerly, Sema4 Holdings Corp., (“GeneDx Holdings”). We originally acquired shares of GeneDx Holdings in the 2022 disposition of our former subsidiary, GeneDx LLC (“GeneDx”) and subsequently acquired additional shares in an underwritten offering by GeneDx Holdings.
Current report
Interest expense. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $47.5 million and $13.5 million, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by interest incurred on the 2029 Convertible Notes (as defined below) and the 2044 Notes, including amortization of deferred financing and debt issuance costs. This increase was partially offset by the extinguishment of our outstanding 2023 Convertible Notes (as defined below) in connection with their exchange for 2029 Convertible Notes and the repurchase of a significant portion of the outstanding 2025 Notes (as defined in Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements) using a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of 2029 Convertible Notes.
Current report
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, was $206.9 million and ($17.0 million), respectively. The increase in 2024 was primarily driven by a $140.0 million gain related to the change in fair value of our investment in GeneDx Holdings and a $64.5 million gain from the sale of 2,937,762 shares of GeneDx Holdings. In 2023, the expense was primarily due to a $23.0 million loss related to the change in fair value of our investment in GeneDx Holdings, partially offset by a $6.7 million gain resulting from GeneDx Holdings achieving specific revenue target milestones. Foreign currency fluctuations resulted in a $3.8 million loss in 2024 and a $1.2 million gain in 2023.
Current report
On January 7th, 2025, ModeX announced the dosing of the first participant in a Phase 1 study of an EBV vaccine candidate being developed in collaboration with Merck. This achievement triggered a $12.5 million cash milestone payment from Merck to ModeX under the Merck Agreement, pursuant to which Merck obtained a license to certain patent rights and know-how in connection with the development of ModeX’s preclinical nanoparticle vaccine candidate targeting the Epstein-Barr Virus. Under the terms of the Merck Agreement, ModeX is eligible to receive up to an additional $860.0 million upon the achievement of certain commercial and development milestones.
Current report
In September 2024, ModeX entered into the BARDA Amendments which increased funding by $26.9 million, for the ongoing development, manufacturing, and execution of a Phase 1 clinical trial for a next-generation MSTAR multispecific antibody with broad neutralizing activity against known variants of SARS-CoV-2. The BARDA Amendments also included BARDA's exercise of an option for the development of a multispecific protein antibody for influenza or another pathogen, with the additional funding allocated to cover the expanded work. These modifications increased the total value of the BARDA Contract to $110.0 million, with a potential value of $205.0 million if BARDA exercises all options thereunder to expand ModeX's services. The BARDA Contract covers a five-year period through February 2028. We expect this funding will support the development of a second novel multispecific antibody to SARS-CoV-2, from preclinical through Phase 1 trials, as well as preclinical work on gene-based expression of multispecific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, including mRNA and/or DNA vectors. In addition, ModeX plans to begin development of influenza multispecifics with gene and/or protein delivery modalities. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount remaining to be funded by BARDA, which is subject to performance obligations and excluding unexercised contract options, was $85.0 million.
Current report

Current report
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) established an inclusive framework on base erosion and profit shifting and agreed on a two-pillar solution (“Pillar Two”) to global taxation, focusing on global profit allocation and a 15% global minimum effective tax rate. On December 15, 2022, the EU member states agreed to implement the OECD’s global minimum tax rate of 15%. The OECD issued Pillar Two model rules and continues to release guidance on these rules. The inclusive framework calls for tax law changes by participating countries to take effect in 2025. Various countries have enacted or have announced plans to enact new tax laws to implement the global minimum tax. We considered the applicable tax law changes on Pillar Two implementation in the relevant countries, and there is no material impact to our tax results for the period. We anticipate further legislative activity and administrative guidance in 2025, and will continue to evaluate the impacts of enacted legislation and pending legislation to enact Pillar Two Model Rules in the non-US tax jurisdictions we operate in.
Current report
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” This standard simplified the accounting for convertible instruments. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach. This resulted in an increase of $21.6 million to the 2025 Convertible Notes, a reduction of $17.5 million to the Accumulated deficit, and a reduction of $39.1 million to Additional paid-in capital.

Revenue. Revenue from services for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by approximately $851.5 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily reflected lower demand for COVID-19 testing and lower COVID-19 reimbursement of $650.3 million and $55.1 million, respectively. BioReference performed 3.1 million molecular tests for COVID-19 and 325 thousand serology antibody tests during the year ended December 31, 2022, which represented 28.7% of total testing volume for that period. In comparison, during the year ended December 31, 2021 Bio Reference performed 11.9 million molecular tests for COVID-19 and 0.7 million serology antibody tests,which represented 58.5% of total test volume for that period. The reduction in reimbursement reflected an increase in utilization of antigen point of care diagnostic tests as well as a change in the mix of customers which have varying contract prices depending on the level of services we provide.
Previous report
For the year ended December 31, 2022, clinical test volume decreased $25.8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, clinical test reimbursement decreased $54.0 million year over year as a result of the change in the mix of tests ordered. Furthermore, as a result of our sale of GeneDx in 2022, genomic test revenues decreased by $63.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year.
Previous report
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased $474.6 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. Cost of revenue decreased primarily due to a decline in the volume of COVID-19 tests performed during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 also decreased due to a decline in the number of genomic tests performed during the period as a result of changes in the test mix during the period. Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, included $6.1 million in severance costs resulting from reductions in our workforce.
Previous report

Revenue from products. Revenue from products for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $142.8 million and $141.8 million, respectively. The increase in revenue from products for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to an increase in sales in our international operating companies offset by foreign exchange fluctuations. Revenue from sales of Rayaldee for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, was $27.3 million and $27.0 million, respectively.
Previous report
Revenue from transfer of intellectual property and other. Revenue from transfer of intellectual property for the year ended December 31, 2022 reflects $85.0 million of regulatory milestone payments from Pfizer due from the commencement of sales from NGENLA (Somatrogon) in Europe and Japan, as well as royalty payments and gross profit share for both NGENLA (Somatrogon) and Pfizer’s Genotropin® (somatropin), $3.0 million related to a sales milestone pursuant to the VFMCRP Agreement, and $2.5 million from Nicoya tied to the first anniversary of the effective date of the Nicoya Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we began to receive royalty payments from sales ofRayaldee from VFMCRP pursuant to the VFMCRP Agreement, and we expect these payments to increase as VFMCRP launchesRayaldee in additional territories throughout Europe. For the years ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, revenue from transfer of intellectual property and other includes $9.3 million and $10.8 million, respectively, of revenue related to the Pfizer Transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2021, revenue from transfer of intellectual property and other also included $1.0 million related to the LeaderMed joint venture, $4.9 million related to the CAMP4 Agreement and a $5.0 million non-refundable upfront payment received under the Nicoya Agreement.
Previous report
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased $2.6 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to a $3.8 million inventory reserve charge for Rayaldee recognized for the year ended December 31, 2021 and changes in the product mix during these annual periods, which were partially offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations at our international operating companies.
Previous report
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $49.2 million and $49.4 million, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses and selling expenses related to Rayaldee. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the pharmaceutical segment for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 included equity-based compensation expense of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
Previous report
The increase in research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to research expenses at ModeX, partially offset by lower expenses related to Somatrogon (hGH-CTP) due to the closure of the open-label extension studies in countries with marketing authorization, lower expenditure on theRayaldee COVID-19 study due to the study’s completion, and lower spending as a result of the sale of one of EirGen’s facilities in Waterford, Ireland to Horizon Therapeutics in 2021 discussed below. Research and development expenses for the pharmaceutical segment for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 included equity-based compensation expenses of $2.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
Previous report
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $63.9 million and $19.7 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Amortization expense reflects the amortization of acquired intangible assets with defined useful lives. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we reclassified $590.2 million of IPR&D related to Somatrogon (hGH-CTP) from IPR&D in our Consolidated Balance Sheet upon the approval of NGENLA (Somatrogon) in Europe and Japan, which was the primary reason for the increase in amortization of intangible assets compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of approximately 12 years.
Previous report
Gain on sale of assets. Gain on sale of assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $31.5 million, which resulted from an agreement between EirGen, our wholly owned subsidiary, and Horizon Therapeutics plc, to sell one of EirGen’s facilities in Waterford, Ireland for $65 million in cash less certain assumed and accrued liabilities relating to transferred employees. The facility housed EirGen’s sterile-fill-finish business and was no longer a core component of our ongoing operations and business strategy.
Previous report
Interest income. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was not significant as our cash investment strategy emphasizes the security of the principal invested and fulfillment of liquidity needs.
Previous report
Interest expense. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $12.1 million and $18.9 million, respectively. Interest expense was principally related to interest incurred on the 2025 Notes, the 2023 Convertible Notes, the 2033 Senior Notes (each as defined below), as well as on BioReference’s outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the 2025 Notes. Due to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, interest expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period due to the elimination of the discount created by recognizing a component of convertible debt in equity.
Previous report
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, was $155.8 million and $14.8 million of expense, respectively.

Contract liabilities relate to cash consideration that OPKO receives in advance of satisfying the related performance obligations. Changes in the contractual liabilities balance for the years ended December 31, 2023 are as follows:
Previous report
*Contingent consideration.*Each period we revalue the contingent consideration obligations associated with certain prior acquisitions to their fair value and record increases in the fair value as contingent consideration expense and decreases in the fair value as a reduction in contingent consideration expense. Changes in contingent consideration result from changes in the assumptions regarding probabilities of successful achievement of related milestones, the estimated timing in which the milestones are achieved and the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the liability. Contingent consideration may change significantly as our development programs progress, revenue estimates evolve and additional data is obtained, impacting our assumptions. The assumptions used in estimating fair value require significant judgment. The use of different assumptions and judgments could result in a materially different estimate of fair value which may have a material impact on our results from operations and financial position.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equty (Subtopic 815-40).” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. As required, we adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 and used the modified retrospective approach for all convertible debt instruments at the beginning of the period of adoptions. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2022 are presented under ASU 2020-06, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting guidance.
Previous report
Under the modified approach, entities applied the guidance to all financial instruments that are outstanding as of the beginning of the year of adoption with the cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the cash conversion and beneficial conversion feature models in ASC 470-20 that require an issuer of certain convertible debt and preferred stock to separately account for embedded conversion features as a component of equity. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 at January 1, 2022 resulted in an increase of the 2025 Convertible notes of $21.6 million, a reduction of the Accumulated deficit of $17.5 million and a reduction of Additional paid-in capital of $39.1 million.

Income tax benefit (provision). Our income tax benefit (provision) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was ($4.4 million) provision and $63.5 million benefit, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the relative mix in earnings and losses in the U.S. versus foreign tax jurisdictions, and operating results in tax jurisdictions which do not result in a tax benefit. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to changes in the company’s estimated tax liability, the impact from the IPR&D tax basis difference on deferred attribute realization as a result of the acquisition of ModeX, as well as the relative mix of earnings and losses in the U.S. versus foreign tax jurisdictions, and operating results in tax jurisdictions which do not result in a tax benefit.

The purchase price per share of the Common Stock repurchased in such transactions equaled the closing sale price of the Common Stock on January 4, 2024, which was $0.9067 per share. Also, contemporaneously with the pricing of the 144A Notes, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the Company’s outstanding 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 to repurchase, on the closing date, approximately $144.4 million aggregate principal amount of such notes. The Company effected such repurchases for cash, using $146.3 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 144A Notes.

We believe that the cash and cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2023 and the amounts available to be borrowed under our lines of credit are sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for operations and debt service beyond the next 12 months. We based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong or are subject to change, and we may be required to use our available cash resources sooner than we currently expect. If we acquire additional assets or companies, accelerate our product development programs or initiate additional clinical trials, we will need additional funds. Our future cash requirements, and the timing of those requirements, will depend on a number of factors, including the approval and success of our products and products in development, particularly our long acting Somatrogon (hGH-CTP) for which we have received approval in over 50 markets, including the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia and Canada, the commercial success ofRayaldee, BioReference’s financial performance, possible acquisitions and dispositions, the continued progress of research and development of our product candidates, the timing and outcome of clinical trials and regulatory approvals, the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, the status of competitive products, the availability of financing, our success in developing markets for our product candidates and results of government investigations, payor claims, and legal proceedings that may arise, including, without limitation class action and derivative litigation to which we are subject, and our ability to obtain insurance coverage for such claims. We have historically not generated sustained positive cash flow and if we are not able to secure additional funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our clinical trials or research and development programs or possible acquisitions or reduce our marketing or sales efforts or cease operations.

Previous wording
Upon obtaining regulatory approval, IPR&D assets are then accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. If the project is abandoned, the IPR&D asset is charged to expense. Finite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The testing includes a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. We believe that our estimates and assumptions in testing goodwill and other intangible assets, including IPR&D, for impairment are reasonable and otherwise consistent with assumptions that marketplace participants would use in their estimates of fair value. Based on the current financial performance of our diagnostic segment and our Ireland reporting unit, which includes Eirgen andRayaldee, if future results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions, then we may be exposed to impairment charges, which could be material. At December 31, 2023, the combined goodwill of our diagnotics segment and our Ireland reporting unit was $367.3 million. No impairment charges were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, or 2021.

The complexities and ambiguities of billing, reimbursement regulations and claims processing, as well as considerations unique to Medicare and Medicaid programs, require us to estimate the potential for retroactive adjustments as an element of variable consideration in the recognition of revenue in the period the related services are rendered.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, negative revenue adjustments due to changes in estimates of implicit price concessions for performance obligations satisfied in prior periods of $19.2 million and $21.5 million, respectively, were recognized. Revenue adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2023 were primarily due to the composition of patient pay mix and for the year ended December 31, 2022 were primarily due to lower COVID-19 test reimbursement estimates.

The complexities and ambiguities of billing, reimbursement regulations and claims processing, as well as considerations unique to Medicare and Medicaid programs, require us to estimate the potential for retroactive adjustments as an element of variable consideration in the recognition of revenue in the period the related services are rendered. Actual amounts are adjusted in the period those adjustments become known. For the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, negative revenue adjustments due to changes in estimates of implicit price concessions for performance obligations satisfied in prior periods of $1.5 million and $19.2 million, respectively, were recognized. Revenue adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily due to the composition of patient pay mix and for the year ended December 31, 2023 were primarily due to lower reimbursements from Medicare payors.
Previous wording
Settlements with third-party payors for retroactive adjustments due to audits, reviews or investigations are also considered variable consideration and are included in the determination of the estimated transaction price for providing services. These settlements are estimated based on the terms of the payment agreement with the payor, correspondence from the payor and our historical settlement activity, including an assessment of the probability a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved. Estimated settlements are adjusted in future periods as adjustments become known (that is, new information becomes available), or as years are settled or are no longer subject to such audits, reviews, and investigations. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we have liabilities of approximately $3.1 million and $1.8 million within Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities related to reimbursements for payor overpayments.
