Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Description of Business

Guardant Health, Inc., or the Company, is a leading precision oncology company focused on guarding wellness and giving every person more time free from cancer. The Company is transforming patient care by providing critical insights into what drives disease through its advanced blood and tissue tests, and real-world data. The Company's tests help improve outcomes across all stages of care, including screening to find cancer early, monitoring for recurrence in early-stage cancer, and helping doctors select the best treatment for patients with advanced cancer. For patients with advanced stage cancer, the Company offers the Guardant360 Liquid test, formerly known as the Guardant360 LDT test, and Guardant360 CDx test, the first comprehensive liquid biopsy test approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, to provide tumor mutation profiling with solid tumors and to be used as a companion diagnostic in connection with non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, and breast cancer. The Company also offers the Guardant360 Tissue test for advanced-stage cancer, Guardant Reveal blood test to detect residual and recurring disease in early-stage colorectal, breast and lung cancer patients, and Guardant360 Response blood test to predict patient response to immunotherapy or targeted therapy eight weeks earlier than current standard-of-care imaging.

The Company also collaborates with biopharmaceutical companies in clinical studies by providing the above-mentioned tests, as well as the GuardantINFINITY blood test, a next-generation Smart Liquid Biopsy that provides new, multi-dimensional insights into the complexities of tumor molecular profiles and immune response to advance cancer research and therapy development, and the GuardantOMNI blood test for advanced-stage cancer. Using data collected from its tests, the Company has also developed its GuardantINFORM platform to help biopharmaceutical companies accelerate precision oncology drug development through the use of this in-silico research platform to unlock further insights into tumor evolution and treatment resistance across various biomarker-driven cancers.

For early cancer detection, in May 2022, the Company launched the Shield LDT test to address the needs of individuals eligible for colorectal cancer screening. From a simple blood draw, Shield uses a novel multimodal approach to detect colorectal cancer signals in the bloodstream, including DNA that is shed by tumors. In December 2022, the Company announced that the ECLIPSE study, a registrational study evaluating the performance of its Shield blood test for detecting colorectal cancer in average-risk adults, met co-primary endpoints. In addition, in March 2023, the Company submitted a premarket approval application, or PMA, for its Shield blood test to the FDA. In July 2024, the Company received FDA approval of its Shield blood test for colorectal cancer screening in adults age 45 and older who are at average risk for the disease, and in August 2024, the Company's Shield blood test became commercially available in the U.S. as the first blood test approved by the FDA for primary colorectal cancer screening, meaning healthcare providers can offer Shield in a manner similar to all other non-invasive methods recommended in screening guidelines. Shield is also the first blood test for colorectal cancer screening that meets coverage requirements by Medicare. In addition, in June 2025, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network included the Company's Shield blood test in its updated colorectal cancer screening guidelines.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in December 2011 and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Guardant Health, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company started to present revenue and cost of revenue in a single line on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Accordingly, the Company adjusted its presentation of revenue and cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 to conform with the current period presentation. See Revenue Recognition section of Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the disaggregation of revenue.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are used in several areas including, but not limited to, estimation of variable consideration, estimation of credit losses, standalone selling price allocation included in contracts with multiple performance obligations, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, stock-based compensation, incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, contingencies, certain inputs into the provision for income taxes, including related reserves, valuation of non-marketable securities, among others. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require judgments, involve the analysis of historical results and prediction of future trends, can require extended periods of time to resolve and are subject to change from period to period. Actual results may differ materially from management’s estimates.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals that the Company believes are necessary to fairly state the financial position and the results of the Company’s operations and cash flows for interim periods in accordance with GAAP. Interim-period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for a full year or any subsequent interim period.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had restricted cash balance of $106.3 million and $104.2 million, of which $105.7 million and $103.6 million, respectively, were related to cash held as collateral under surety bond requirements related to the intellectual property dispute with TwinStrand Biosciences, Inc. and the University of Washington, as described in Note 8 Commitments and Contingencies -Legal Proceedings to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Non-Marketable Equity Securities

The Company acquires certain equity investments in private companies to promote business and strategic objectives. The Company's investments in non-marketable equity securities do not give the Company the ability to control or exercise significant influence over the investees. One of the investees is concluded to be a variable interest entity, or VIE, but the Company is deemed not to be the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The Company's non-marketable equity security investments totaled $16.1 million and $16.1 million as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in other assets, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Non-marketable equity securities are recorded at cost, subject to periodic impairment reviews and adjustments for observable price changes from orderly transactions. The Company's evaluation of impairment of such non-marketable equity securities is based on adverse changes in market conditions and the regulatory or economic environment; qualitative and quantitative analysis of the operating performance and financial condition of the investee; changes in operating structure or management of the investee; and additional funding requirements of the investee. As a result of the evaluation, the Company recorded an impairment of $5.0 million for one of its non-marketable equity security investments for the six months ended June 30, 2025, included in other income (expense), net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment of $22.1 million for another non-marketable equity security investment in the fiscal year of 2023. No other impairment or downward adjustments to the carrying value of the Company's non-marketable equity securities have been otherwise recorded.

Concentration of Risk

The Company is subject to credit risk from its portfolio of cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments in marketable debt securities. The Company limits its exposure to credit losses by investing in money market funds through a U.S. bank with high credit ratings. The Company’s cash may consist of deposits held with banks that may at times exceed federally insured limits, however, its exposure to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institution is limited to the extent of amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company performs evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions to limit the amount of credit exposure.

The Company also invests in investment-grade debt instruments and has policy limits for the amount it can invest in any one type of security, except for securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The goals of the Company’s investment policy, in order of priority, are as follows: safety and preservation of principal and diversification of risk; liquidity of investments sufficient to meet cash flow requirements; and a competitive after-tax rate of return. Under its investment policy, the Company limits amounts invested in such securities by credit rating, maturity, investment type and issuer, as a result, the Company is not exposed to any significant concentrations of credit risk from these financial instruments.

The Company is subject to credit risk from its accounts receivable. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable arises from the delivery of the Company's tests, and the performance of the Company's service and partnership agreements with biopharmaceutical companies and international laboratory partners, all of which have high credit ratings. The Company has not experienced any material losses related to receivables from individual customers, or groups of customers. The Company does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowance for credit losses, if any.

A significant customer is any biopharmaceutical customer, clinical testing payer, or international laboratory partner that represents 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue or accounts receivable balance. Revenue attributable to each significant customer, including its affiliated entities, as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue, for the respective period, and accounts receivable balance attributable to each significant customers, including its affiliated entities, as a percentage of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance, at the respective condensed consolidated balance sheet date, are as follows:

Revenue · Accounts Receivable, Net
Three Months Ended June 30, · Six Months Ended June 30, · June 30,2025 · December 31,2024

Customer A*12%**14%14%
Customer B28%29%28%30%10%12%
Customer C****13%11%
  • less than 10%

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable represent valid claims against commercial and governmental payers, biopharmaceutical companies, research institutes, international laboratory partners and distributors, including unbilled receivables. Unbilled receivables include balances due from biopharmaceutical customers related to service agreements that are recognized upon the achievement of performance-based milestones but prior to the achievement of contractual billing rights. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had unbilled receivables of $3.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on historical collection trends, the financial condition of payment partners, and external market factors and provides for an allowance for potential credit losses based on management’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses. The Company recorded immaterial credit losses related to its accounts receivable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth fiscal quarter, or if circumstances indicate its value may no longer be recoverable. The Company continues to operate inone segment, which is considered to be the sole reporting unit and, therefore, goodwill is tested for impairment at the enterprise level. As of June 30, 2025, there has beenno impairment of goodwill.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The Company does not have intangible assets with indefinite useful lives other than goodwill. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the intangible asset's useful life, which is approximately 6—12 years.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use, or ROU, assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received or receivable. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities, as the Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate when the Company is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components. The Company elected the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease components for the Company’s facility leases. The Company also elected to apply the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption in which ROU assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for leases with terms of 12 months or less.

Convertible Senior Notes

Convertible senior notes are accounted for as a liability and measured at their amortized cost. Any premium or discount on the notes is included in the carrying amount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using an effective interest rate method. Transaction costs related to the issuance of the notes are netted with the liability and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the same effective interest rate method.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is accounted for at cost based on the amount paid to repurchase the Company's common stock, and is recorded as a reduction of the Company's stockholders’ equity. Direct costs incurred to repurchase the Company's common stock are included in the cost of the treasury stock.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue from four major sources, including oncology, biopharma and data, screening, and licensing and other. The Company currently receives payments from third-party commercial and governmental payers, certain hospitals and oncology centers, and individual patients, as well as biopharmaceutical companies, research institutes, international laboratory partners and distributors.

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by revenue source:

Total revenue$232,088$177,235$435,559$345,726

Revenues are recognized when control of services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, provides for a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Oncology

Oncology revenue was previously presented as precision oncology revenue from tests for clinical customers. Oncology revenue includes amounts derived from the delivery of the Company's oncology tests for clinical customers, including hospitals, cancer centers, research institutions and patients, and oncology tests delivered by labs operated by the Company's strategic partners.

Oncology revenue is recognized at the time results of the test are reported to physicians. Most oncology tests requested by clinical customers are sold without a written agreement; however, the Company determines an implied contract exists with its clinical customers. The Company identifies each sale of its test to a clinical customer as a single performance obligation. With the exception of certain limited contracted arrangements with insurance carriers and other institutions where the transaction price is fixed, a stated contract price does not exist and the transaction price for each implied contract with clinical customers represents variable consideration. The Company estimates the variable consideration under the portfolio approach and considers the historical reimbursement data from third-party commercial and governmental payers and patients, as well as known or anticipated reimbursement trends not reflected in the historical data. The Company monitors the estimated amount to be collected in the portfolio at each reporting period based on actual cash collections in order to assess whether a revision to the estimate is required. Both the estimate and any subsequent revision contain uncertainty and require the use of significant judgment in the estimation of the variable consideration and application of the constraint for such variable consideration. The Company analyzes its actual cash collections over the expected reimbursement period and compares it with the estimated variable consideration for each portfolio and any difference is recognized as an adjustment to estimated revenue, subject to assessment of the risk of cumulative future revenue reversal.

Biopharma and data

Biopharma and data revenue includes amounts derived from the delivery of the Company's tests for biopharmaceutical customers, previously presented as precision oncology revenue from tests for biopharmaceutical customers. Biopharma and data revenue also includes amounts derived from the performance of the Company's service agreements with biopharmaceutical customers, previously presented as a component of development services and other revenue, primarily comprised of companion diagnostic development and regulatory approval, monitoring and maintenance, GuardantINFORM data services and GuardantConnect referral services.

Revenue from the delivery of the Company's tests for biopharmaceutical customers are based on a negotiated price per test or on the basis of an agreement to provide certain testing volume over a defined period. The Company identifies its promise to transfer a series of distinct tests to biopharmaceutical customers as a single performance obligation. Tests for biopharmaceutical customers are generally billed at a fixed price for each test performed. For agreements involving testing volume to be satisfied over a defined period, revenue is recognized over time based on the number of tests performed as the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Results of the Company’s tests are delivered electronically, and as such there are no shipping or handling fees incurred by the Company or billed to customers.

In addition, the Company collaborates with biopharmaceutical companies in the development of new drugs. As part of these collaborations, the Company provides services related to regulatory filings to support companion diagnostic device submissions for the Company’s testing panels. Under these collaborations, the Company generates revenue from achievement of milestones. The transaction price of these contracts typically represents variable consideration. Application of the constraint for variable consideration to milestone payments is an area that requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial, and other risks that must be managed to achieve the respective milestone and the level of effort and investment required to achieve the respective milestone. The constraint for variable consideration is applied to the contract price such that it is probable a significant cumulative reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the contingency is resolved. The Company also provides other services to its biopharmaceutical customers, such as monitoring and maintenance, GuardantINFORM data services and GuardantConnect referral services. These revenues are generally recognized over time based on an input method to measure progress in the service period, utilizing costs incurred to-date relative to total expected costs as its measure of progress.

Screening

Screening revenue, previously included in other revenue, includes amounts derived from the delivery of the Company's Shield screening tests. As is the case with its Oncology revenue, the Company recognizes its Screening revenue at the time the results of the tests are reported. Due to consistencies with its Oncology revenue, the Company applies the concepts of variable consideration under the portfolio approach to its Screening revenue in a manner consistent with that of its Oncology revenue, described above.

Licensing and other

The Company also derives revenue from licensing its technologies, previously included in other revenue. The Company recognizes its licensing and other revenue based on the nature and terms of the technology licensing arrangements.

Revenue related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $8.9 million and $18.6 million, respectively, as revenue related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $15.2 million and $24.9 million, respectively, as revenue related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods.

Contracts with multiple performance obligations

The Company's contracts with biopharmaceutical customers and international laboratory partners may include multiple distinct performance obligations, such as delivery of its tests, performance of the above-mentioned services, and licensing its technologies, among others. The Company evaluates the terms and conditions included within its contracts with biopharmaceutical customers and international laboratory partners to ensure appropriate revenue recognition. The Company first identifies material promises, in contrast to immaterial promises or administrative tasks, under the contract, and then evaluates whether these promises are both capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. In assessing whether a promised service is capable of being distinct, the Company considers whether the customer could benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, including factors such as the research, development, and commercialization capabilities of a third party as well as the availability of the associated expertise in the general marketplace. In assessing whether a promised service is distinct within the context of the contract, the Company considers whether it provides a significant integration of the services, whether the services significantly modify or customize one another, or whether the services are highly interdependent or interrelated.

For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines standalone selling price by considering the historical selling price of these performance obligations in similar transactions as well as other factors, including, but not limited to, the price that customers in the market would be willing to pay, competitive pricing of other vendors, industry publications and current pricing practices, and expected costs of satisfying each performance obligation plus appropriate margin; or by using the residual approach if standalone selling price is not observable, by reference to the total transaction price less the sum of the observable standalone selling prices of other performance obligations promised in the contract.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue, which is a contract liability, consists primarily of billings in advance of revenue recognition from contracts with customers. For example, service contracts with biopharmaceutical customers often contain upfront payments which results in the recording of deferred revenue to the extent of billings prior to the Company's performance of the related services. Contract liabilities are relieved as the Company performs its obligations under the contract and revenue is consequently recognized. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's deferred revenue balance was $60.7 million and $41.6 million, respectively, of which $6.4 million and $6.1 million was considered long-term and recorded within other long-term liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2025 that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2024 was $19.9 million, and revenue recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2024 that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023 was $9.3 million, respectively.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenues in future periods. The Company expects to recognize substantially all of the remaining transaction price in the next 1-2 years.

Costs associated with performing the Company’s tests generally consists of cost of materials, including inventory write-downs; cost of labor, including employee benefits, bonus, and stock-based compensation; equipment and infrastructure expenses associated with processing test samples, such as sample preparation, library preparation, sequencing, and quality control analyses; freight; curation of test results for physicians; phlebotomy; and license fees due to third parties. Infrastructure expenses include depreciation of laboratory equipment, rent costs, depreciation of leasehold improvements and information technology costs. Costs associated with performing the Company's tests are recorded as the tests are performed regardless of whether revenue was recognized with respect to that test.

Cost of revenue also includes costs incurred for the performance of the Company's service agreements and partnership agreements with its biopharmaceutical customers and strategic partners, which comprise of labor and material costs.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred to develop technology and include salaries and benefits including stock-based compensation, reagents and supplies used in research and development laboratory work, infrastructure expenses, including facility occupancy and information technology costs, contract services, other outside costs and costs to develop the Company's technology capabilities. Research and development expenses also include costs related to activities performed under contracts with biopharmaceutical companies before technological feasibility has been achieved. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are deferred and recognized as expense in the period in which the related goods are received or services are rendered. Costs to develop technology capabilities are recorded as research and development expenses unless they meet the criteria to be capitalized as internal-use software costs.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation related to stock options granted to the Company’s employees, directors and nonemployees is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The fair value is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective awards. Compensation expense for stock options with performance metrics is calculated based upon expected achievement of the metrics specified in the grant.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted under the 2012 Stock Plan (as amended and restated), or the 2012 Plan, the 2018 Incentive Award Plan, or the 2018 Plan, the 2023 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan, or the 2023 Plan, and stock purchase rights granted under the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires assumptions to be made related to the expected term of an award, expected volatility, risk-free rate and expected dividend yield.

The Company measures the grant date fair value of its service-based and performance-based restricted stock units issued to employees and non-employees based on the closing market price of the common stock on the date of grant. For restricted stock units with only service-based vesting conditions, compensation expense is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Compensation expense for restricted stock units with performance metrics, or PSUs, is calculated based upon expected achievement of the metrics specified in the grant, and is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations using an accelerated attribution model over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. No stock-based compensation expense is recorded for PSUs, unless it is determined to be probable that the related performance metrics will be met. In addition, a cumulative adjustment will be recorded in the period when the probability of achieving the related performance metrics is adjusted. For awards granted with a market condition, the Company derives the grant date fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation model and the related compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period using an accelerated attribution model commencing on the grant date. Any awards that remain unvested at the end of the performance period will be forfeited. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company calculates basic net loss per share by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method or the as-if converted method, as appropriate. For purposes of this calculation, stock options, restricted stock units, shares issuable pursuant to the employee stock purchase plan, and contingently issuable shares under the convertible senior notes are considered common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance became effective for the annual reporting periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2024, and for interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025, and should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted this pronouncement retrospectively in the fiscal year of 2024.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amended existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosures on the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company expects to provide required disclosures upon the effective date.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires additional disclosures of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2027, and for interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this accounting pronouncement on its financial statements.

  1. Fair Value Measurements, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, net, prepaid expenses and other current assets, net, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are stated at fair value. Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment date.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received from sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The identification of market participant assumptions provides a basis for determining what inputs are to be used for pricing each asset or liability. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

A fair value hierarchy has been established which gives precedence to fair value measurements calculated using observable inputs over those using unobservable inputs. This hierarchy prioritized the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used in such measurements were as follows:

The Company measures the fair value of money market funds based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Income deposit funds and U.S. government debt securities are valued taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; prepayment/default projections based on historical data; and other observable inputs.

In July 2022, one of the Company's equity investees, Lunit Inc., or Lunit, completed its initial public offering, or IPO, subsequent to which, the Company started to account for the investment in Lunit at fair value on a recurring basis, and classified the investment as marketable equity securities within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as the investment is valued using the quoted market price. The Company was subject to a 2-year lock-up period from Lunit's IPO date, during which the Company shall not transfer Lunit's shares between accounts, establish or cancel pledges, sell, or withdraw such shares, without approval from the Korea Exchange. In November 2023, Lunit issued bonus shares to its existing shareholders by allocatingone new share for each existing share, and the Company was subject to the same lock-up period with the same restrictions for these bonus shares which expired in July 2024. In the second half of 2024, the Company sold all of its investment in Lunit. In addition, the Company recorded $15.5 million and $45.5 million unrealized losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 on its investment in Lunit, included in other income (expense), net on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the periods presented.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration is measured at fair value on a quarterly basis and changes in estimated contingent consideration to be paid are included in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is estimated using a multiple-outcome discounted cash flow valuation technique. Contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as it is based on a probability that includes significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs include a probability-weighted estimate of achievement of certain commercialization milestones, and discount rate to present value the expected payments. A significant change in any of these input factors in isolation could have a material impact to fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's acquisition-related contingent consideration liability was $4.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, of which zero and $2.1 million was considered long-term and recorded within other long-term liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company considers the fair value of the Convertible Notes as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, to be a Level 2 measurement. The fair value of the Convertible Notes is primarily affected by the trading price of the Company's common stock and market interest rates. As such, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes does not reflect the market rate. See Note 6, Debt, for additional information related to the fair values of the Convertible Notes.

2027 Notes

In November 2020, the Company issued $1.15 billion principal amount of its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, or the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes do not bear interest, and the principal amount of the 2027 Notes will not accrete. However, special interest and additional interest may accrue on the 2027 Notes at a rate per annum not exceeding 0.50% (subject to certain exceptions) upon the occurrence of certain events such as the failure to file certain reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, or to remove certain restrictive legends from the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes will mature on November 15, 2027, unless repurchased, redeemed or converted earlier.

Before August 15, 2027, holders of the 2027 Notes will have the right to convert their 2027 Notes only under the following circumstances:

during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2021, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, or the sale price condition;

during thefive consecutive business days immediately after anyten consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; or

upon the occurrence of specified corporate events

From and after August 15, 2027, holders of the 2027 Notes may convert their 2027 Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election.

The initial conversion rate is 7.1523 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $139.82 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.

The Company may not redeem the 2027 Notes at its option at any time before November 20, 2024. The 2027 Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 20, 2024 and on or before the 25th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. In addition, calling any 2027 Notes for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to the 2027 Notes, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of the 2027 Notes will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” occur, then, subject to a limited exception for certain cash mergers, holders of the 2027 Notes may require the Company to repurchase their 2027 Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common stock.

In February 2025, the Company entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of its 2027 Notes, pursuant to which the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031, or the 2031 Notes, in exchange for the retirement of $659.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes, or the Note Exchange Transaction. Following the closing of the Note Exchange Transaction, $490.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes remain outstanding with terms unchanged. In addition, as a result of the Note Exchange Transaction, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of convertible notes of $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, included in other income (expense), net on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

2031 Notes

The 2031 Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2025. Special interest may accrue on the 2031 Notes at a rate per annum not exceeding 0.50% (subject to certain exceptions). The 2031 Notes will mature on February 15, 2031, unless repurchased, redeemed or converted earlier.

Before November 15, 2030, holders of the 2031 Notes will have the right to convert the 2031 Notes only under the following circumstances:

during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2025, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

during thefive consecutive business days immediately after anyten consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; or

upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

From and after November 15, 2030, holders of 2031 Notes may convert their 2031 Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election.

The initial conversion rate is 16.0716 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $62.22 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.

The Company may not redeem the 2031 Notes at its option at any time before February 21, 2028. The 2031 Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after February 21, 2028 and on or before the 25th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. In addition, calling any 2031 Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to the 2031 Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of the 2031 Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” occur, then, subject to a limited exception for certain cash mergers, holders of the 2031 Notes may require the Company to repurchase their 2031 Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common stock.

Since the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes were not convertible as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the net carrying amounts of the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes were classified as long-term liabilities.

The following table sets forth the net carrying amounts of the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024:

The total estimated fair value of the 2027 Notes was $445.2 million and $964.9 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and the total estimated fair value of the 2031 Notes was $699.3 million as of June 30, 2025. The fair values were determined based on the closing trading price per $100 of the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period.

Note Hedges

To minimize the impact of potential economic dilution upon conversion of the 2027 Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions, or the 2027 Note Hedges, with respect to its common stock concurrent with the issuance of the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Note Hedges cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the 2027 Notes. The strike price of the 2027 Note Hedges will initially be approximately $182.60 per share, which represents a premium of 75% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock of $104.34 per share on November 16, 2020, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2027 Note Hedges.

The 2027 Note Hedges will expire upon maturity of the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Note Hedges are separate transactions and are not part of the terms of the 2027 Notes. Holders of the 2027 Notes will not have any rights with respect to the 2027 Note Hedges. The shares receivable related to the 2027 Note Hedges are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive.

As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the 2027 Note Hedges are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The Company paid an aggregate amount of $90.0 million for the 2027 Note Hedges, which has been recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and will not be remeasured.

In March 2025, in connection with the Note Exchange Transaction, the Company entered into unwind agreements with certain financial institutions with respect to the 2027 Note Hedges, under which the parties terminated a portion of the 2027 Note Hedges up to the notional amounts corresponding to the amount of the 2027 Notes retired in the Note Exchange Transaction. As a result, the Company recorded an increase of $5.5 million to its additional paid-in capital. The terms of the remaining 2027 Note Hedges remain unchanged. The Company did not enter into any convertible note hedge transactions in connection with the 2031 Notes.

  1. Leases

The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements for office space, data center, lab and warehouse use, with remaining terms ranging from 0.4 to 8.0 years, some of which include one or more options to renew. As leases approach maturity, the Company considers various factors such as market conditions and the terms of any renewal options that may exist to determine whether it will renew the lease, as such, the Company does not include renewal options in its lease terms for calculating its lease liability, as the renewal options allow it to maintain operational flexibility and the Company is not reasonably certain it will exercise these renewal options at the time of the lease commencement.

In April 2025, the Company entered into a lease amendment for its office and lab space of approximately 163,000 square feet in Redwood City, California, the Redwood City lease, and extended the lease terms by additional 3.1 to 6.0 years to December 31, 2030, and December 31, 2031. The Company accounted for this amendment as a lease modification by remeasuring the ROU assets and lease liabilities as of the effective date, and recorded additional ROU assets and lease liabilities of $35.4 million, respectively. In addition, the Redwood City lease has been classified as an operating lease. The Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate of 7.98% to determine the present value of lease payments for the Redwood City lease using market yield curves based on similar terms and the Company's credit rating.

Operating lease expense was $8.6 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and $16.4 million and $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, which includes both lease and non-lease components (primarily common area maintenance charges and property taxes).

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

In addition to commitments and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, from time to time the Company may be subject to a variety of claims and legal proceedings, including claims from customers and vendors, pending and potential legal actions for damages, governmental investigations and other matters. For example, the Company has received, and may in the future continue to receive letters, claims or complaints from others alleging false advertising, patent infringement, violation of employment practices and trademark infringement. The Company has also instituted, and may in the future institute, additional legal proceedings to enforce its rights and seek remedies, such as monetary damages, injunctive relief and declaratory relief. The Company cannot predict the results of any such disputes, and despite the potential outcomes, the existence thereof may have an adverse material impact on the Company because of diversion of management time and attention as well as the financial costs related to resolving such disputes.

The Company and its affiliates are parties to the legal claims and proceedings described below. The Company is vigorously defending itself against those claims and in those proceedings. Significant developments in those matters are described below. If the Company is unsuccessful in defending, or if it determines to settle, any of these matters, it may be required to pay substantial sums, be subject to injunction and/or be forced to change how it operates its business, which could have a material adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Unless otherwise stated, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the loss or a range of possible loss for the matters described below. Often, it is not reasonably possible for the Company to determine that a loss is probable for a claim, or to reasonably estimate the amount of loss or a range of loss, because of the limited information available and the potential effects of future events and decisions by third parties, such as courts and regulators, that will determine the ultimate resolution of the claim. Many of the matters described are at preliminary stages, raise novel theories of liability or seek an indeterminate amount of damages. It is not uncommon for claims to be resolved over a number of years. The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the loss probability has changed and whether it can make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss. When the Company determines that a loss from a claim is probable and reasonably estimable, it records a liability in the amount of its estimate for the ultimate loss. The Company also provides disclosure when it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed its recorded liability.

Intellectual Property Disputes

In August 2021, TwinStrand Biosciences, Inc., or TwinStrand Biosciences, and the University of Washington filed a patent infringement suit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the Company infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 10,287,631; 10,689,699; 10,752,951; and 10,760,127. The Company answered the complaint in October 2021, denying TwinStrand Biosciences’ allegations and asserted counterclaims of invalidity, unenforceability due to inequitable conduct and infringement offour of the Company’s patents. Discovery in the case has concluded. In October 2023, the District Court dismissed with prejudice TwinStrand’s infringement claims related to U.S. Patent Nos. 10,689,699 and 10,752,951.

On November 14, 2023, a jury verdict was entered in favor of TwinStrand Biosciences and the University of Washington and against the Company. The jury found that the Company willfully infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 10,287,631 and 10,760,127, and awarded TwinStrand Biosciences and the University of Washington $83.4 million in damages, representing a 6% royalty on past sales. As a result, the Company recorded a liability of $83.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, which was reflected as a charge to other operating expense on its consolidated statements of operations, and as a component of other long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. Post-trial motions were filed on March 4, 2024, where the Company moved to overturn the jury’s verdict, seek a new trial, and/or amend the judgment, and TwinStrand Biosciences moved for enhanced damages based on the jury's finding of willful infringement, pre- and post-judgment interest, and a go-forward running royalty. A hearing date has not yet been set on the post-trial motions. The Company strongly disagrees with the jury verdict and will vigorously contest the verdict and judgment through post-trial motions in the District Court, and if needed, through appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

On June 11, 2024, the Company filed a patent infringement suit against Tempus AI, Inc., or Tempus, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Tempus infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 11,149,306; 9,902,992; 10,501,810; 10,793,916; and 11,643,693. The Company is seeking an injunction to stop Tempus’ infringement and compensatory damages. The case Guardant Health, Inc. v. Tempus AI, Inc., Case No. 1:24-cv-00687, has been assigned to Judge Gregory B. Williams. On October 21, 2024, Tempus moved to dismiss the Company’s suit alleging that some of the asserted patents were invalid. The Company opposed the motion, which is pending. The Court also entered a scheduling order with trial set for May 2027. On March 14, 2025, Tempus filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, alleging that the Company infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 10,957,041; 10,991,097; 11,640,859; and 12,112,839. The patents are generally directed at bioinformatic analysis technology. The case has been assigned to Judge Jinsook Ohta. On May 5, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Tempus’ complaint and a motion to transfer the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and a hearing on the motions is set for July 31, 2025. A scheduling order has not yet been entered the case. The Company maintains that Tempus’ allegations are without merit.

On March 6, 2025, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, or CSHL, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that Copy Number Variation, or CNV, calling in Guardant360 infringes U.S. Patent No. 10,947,589. The patent is generally directed at gene sequencing and analysis technology. The case has been assigned to Judge Jennifer Choe-Groves. On May 28, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss CSHL claims, which is pending. Discovery is ongoing, with a Markman hearing scheduled for April 2, 2026 and trial on April 19, 2027. The Company maintains that CSHL’s allegations are without merit.

False Advertising Disputes

In May 2021, the Company also filed a lawsuit against Natera, Inc., or Natera, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, wherein the Company alleged that Natera is misleading healthcare providers about the performance of the Company’s new oncology test, Guardant Reveal, by suggesting the test is inaccurate and/or insensitive, and inferior to Natera’s Signatera assay. The Company is seeking an injunction to prevent Natera from continuing to make false and misleading statements and to require Natera to take corrective actions. Natera asserted counterclaims of false and misleading statements, false advertising, unlawful trade practices and unfair competition. The Company moved to dismiss Natera’s counterclaims, and in January 2022, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company's motion to dismiss.

On November 25, 2024, after a three-week trial before Judge Edward M. Chen, the jury unanimously found in favor of the Company on all of its claims against Natera for false advertising and unfair competition. The jury awarded the Company $292.5 million, including $175.5 million in punitive damages. The jury also unanimously rejected all of Natera’s counterclaims against the Company. Both parties have filed post-trial motions. On July 9, 2025, Judge Chen granted the Company’s motions for sanctions, awarding approximately $3 million in attorneys’ fees and ordering the assignment of a special master to evaluate additional punitive sanctions against Natera. On July 28, 2025, Judge Chen issued orders on the remaining outstanding post-trial motions, denying Natera’s motion for a new trial and motion for equitable claims. Judge Chen also granted in part the Company’s motions, including providing injunctive relief preventing Natera from continuing its false advertising and affirming a total damages award of $287.0 million.

On January 13, 2025, Tempus sent the Company a letter alleging that the Company made certain false or misleading statements in its advertising related to Guardant360 and Tempus’ xF+ assay. The Company strongly disagrees with Tempus’ allegations and responded to each allegation. On January 17, 2025, the Company filed a declaratory judgment action against Tempus in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, seeking to show that Tempus’ allegations are without merit. On March 17, 2025, Tempus responded to the Company’s complaint and filed false advertising counterclaims. The case has been assigned to Judge Gregory B. Williams, with discovery ongoing and trial set for September 2027.

Other Legal Matters

The Company is currently a defendant intwo wage and hour class action lawsuits filed intwo separate California Superior Courts alleging violations of various provisions of the California Labor Code, including overlapping claims for unpaid minimum wage, overtime, off-the-clock work, meal and rest period violations, failure to reimburse business expenses, failure to pay all wages due upon termination, and failure to provide accurate wage statements. Inone of the lawsuits, the plaintiff is also asserting class claims that the Company required employees to sign agreements containing an unlawful post-employment non-compete/non-solicitation clause restraining their engagement in a lawful trade or business. The plaintiffs in both actions seek class certification on behalf of similarly situated employees employed by the Company in California during the relevant statutory period. Each complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, penalties, interest, and attorneys’ fees. The Company denies the allegations.

At this stage of the proceedings, the court has not certified the case as a class action, and formal discovery has not yet commenced in either action. At this early stage of the litigation, the outcome of thesetwo pending matters remains uncertain.

Future stock-based compensation for unvested restricted stock units as of June 30, 2025 was $215.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

Since November 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors started to approve, and the Company started to grant performance-based restricted stock units, or PSUs, to its employees and non-employees. The PSUs granted consist of financial and/or operational metrics to be met over a performance period of approximately 1.0 to 3.0 years and an additional service period requirement of up to 2.0 years after the performance metrics are met. In addition, granted units might be adjusted when certain performance metrics are met. The PSUs are expected to be expensed over a period of approximately 1.0 to 3.1 years subject to meeting the respective performance metrics and service requirements.

In November 2020 and May 2021, and as part of these PSU programs, the Company granted PSUs consisting of a performance period of 4 years combined with an additional service period requirement ofsix months should the vesting criteria be met with a grant date fair value of $113.40 per share and $148.19 per share, respectively. In the third quarter of 2024, the performance metrics of these PSUs were considered to be achieved; as such the Company recorded $24.8 million in stock-based compensation expense related to these PSUs, based on 219,161 shares granted with fair values of $113.40 per share and $148.19 per share. In the first quarter of 2025, these PSUs were vested after the additional six months service requirements were fulfilled.

A summary of the Company’s PSU activity and related information is as follows:

Stock-based compensation recorded for the PSUs was $3.6 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and $7.8 million and $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Future stock-based compensation for unvested PSUs that are probable to vest as of June 30, 2025 was $23.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

Market-based Restricted Stock Units

In May 2020, the Board of Directors approved and granted 1,695,574 market-based restricted stock units, or MSUs, under the 2018 Plan to each of the Company's Co-Chief Executive Officers, which is subject to the achievement of market-based share price goals established by the Board of Directors. The MSUs consist ofthree separate tranches and the vesting of each tranche is subject to the Company's common stock closing price being maintained at or above a predetermined share price goal for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days. The grant date fair values of the MSUs were determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model for each tranche. The related stock-based compensation expense for each tranche was recognized based on an accelerated attribution method over the estimated derived service period, which was the median duration of the successful stock price paths to meet the price goal for each tranche as simulated in the Monte Carlo valuation model. Allthree tranches of the MSUs were fully expensed as of June 30, 2022. In March 2024, the Board of Directors approved to cancel the unvested MSUs and concurrently approved to grant new awards to the Co-Chief Executive Officers, which was accounted for as a modification, however no stock-based compensation expense was reversed as the Company's Co-Chief Executive Officers had fulfilled the service requirement.

Valuation of Stock Options

The grant date fair value of stock options was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2025202420252024
(unaudited)
Expected term (in years)5.50 - 5.795.50 - 5.785.50 - 5.905.50 – 5.78

Risk-free interest rate4.0% - 4.1%4.4% - 4.5%4.0% - 4.3%4.3% – 4.5%
Expected dividend yield—%—%—%—%

The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the estimated fair value of common stock of the Company, as well as assumptions regarding a number of variables that are complex, subjective and generally require significant judgment to determine. The valuation assumptions were determined as follows:

Fair Value of Common Stock

The fair value of the Company’s common stock is determined by the closing price, on the date of grant, of its common stock, which is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Expected Term

The expected term represents the period that the options granted are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method (based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term) as the Company has concluded that its stock option exercise history does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

Expected Volatility

Prior to the commencement of trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on October 4, 2018 in connection with its IPO, there was no active trading market for the Company's common stock. Due to limited historical data for the trading of the Company’s common stock, for awards granted prior to fiscal year 2025, expected volatility was estimated based on the average volatility for comparable publicly traded peer group companies in the same industry plus the Company's expected volatility for the available periods. The comparable companies are chosen based on their similar size, stage in the life cycle or area of specialty. As sufficient historical trading data became available, for awards granted since fiscal year 2025, the Company estimates expected volatility based on its own historical stock price volatility.

Risk-Free Interest Rate

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate, with maturities similar to the expected term of the stock options.

Expected Dividend Yield

The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield ofzero.

2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In September 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and its stockholders approved the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the ESPP. Subject to any plan limitations, the ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute, normally through payroll deductions, up to 10% of their earnings for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at a discounted price per share. The price at which common stock is purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower. The ESPP provides for separatesix-month offering periods beginning on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

Shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP were 310,387 and 371,826 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The grant date fair value of the stock purchase rights granted under the ESPP was estimated on the first day of each offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The valuation assumptions used were substantially consistent with the assumption used to value stock options with the exception of the expected term which was based on the term of each purchase period.

The grant date fair value of the stock purchase rights granted under the ESPP was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Three and Six Months Ended June 30,
20252024
(unaudited)
Expected term (in years)0.500.50
Expected volatility69.0%64.2%
Risk-free interest rate4.3%5.4%
Expected dividend yield—%—%

The total compensation expense related to the ESPP was $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and $2.8 million and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP was $1.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining term of the offering period of 0.4 years.

  1. Net Loss Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted net loss per share:

  1. Income Taxes

The income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, was determined based upon estimates of the Company’s effective income tax rates in various jurisdictions. The difference between the Company’s effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily attributable to state income taxes, foreign income taxes, the effect of certain permanent differences, and full valuation allowance against domestic net deferred tax assets.

The income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, relates primarily to state minimum income tax and income tax on the Company’s earnings in foreign jurisdictions.

On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or the OBBBA, introducing significant amendments to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The amendments include the permanent extension of certain business tax measures initially established under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which were set to expire at the end of 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on its financial statements and will provide further disclosures in subsequent reporting periods, as applicable.
