- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the accounting disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed financial statements consolidate the operations and accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Unless otherwise noted, all tabular dollars are in thousands, except per share amounts. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current year’s presentation.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations of the Company for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. In addition, the Company was previously a “smaller reporting company”, as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-K and currently takes advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. As such, the Company is eligible for exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including reduced reporting, including the reporting of two fiscal years of financial statements, not being required to provide an auditor attestation of internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and extended transition periods to comply with new or revised accounting standards for public business entities. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 these estimates on current facts, historical and anticipated results, trends and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable in the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the transaction price for certain contracts with customers, potential or actual claims for recoupment from third-party payors, the valuation of stock-based awards, the valuation of warrant liabilities, income taxes and intangible assets. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, judgments and assumptions.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates in the current period.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
The Company assesses both the self-pay patient and, if applicable, the third-party payor that reimburses the Company on the patient’s behalf when evaluating concentration of credit risk. Significant patients and payors are those that represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues for the period or accounts receivable balance at each respective balance sheet date. The significant concentrations of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were primarily from large managed care insurance companies, institutional billed accounts, and data arrangements. The Company does not require collateral as a means to mitigate customer credit risk.
For each significant payor, revenue as a percentage of total revenues and accounts receivable as a percentage of total accounts receivable are as follows:
| Revenue · Accounts Receivable | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Three months ended June 30, · Six months ended June 30, · June 30, · December 31, | ||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Payor A (1) | 21% | 14% | 20% | 14% | * | * |
| Payor B | 29% | 28% | 29% | 26% | * | 10% |
- Less than 10%
(1)This payor group includes multiple individual plans and the Company calculates and presents the aggregated value from all plans, which is consistent with the Company’s portfolio approach used in accounting for diagnostic test revenue.
The Company is subject to a concentration of risk from a limited number of suppliers for certain reagents and laboratory supplies. One supplier accounted for approximately 16% and 14% of purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 12% and 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A second supplier accounted for approximately 13% and 13% of purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 10% and 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This risk is managed by maintaining a target quantity of surplus stock. Alternative suppliers are available for some or all of these reagents and supplies.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The standard requires additional disclosures around disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The standard requires enhanced segment reporting disclosures, including significant segment expenses and other segment items. Additionally, the standard requires public entities to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in financial statements unless it is impractical to do so. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Reassessment of Variable Consideration
Subsequent changes to the estimate of the transaction price, determined on a portfolio basis when applicable, are generally recorded as adjustments to revenue in the period of the change. The Company updates estimated variable consideration quarterly.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the total change in estimate resulted in a net increase to revenue of $7.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, resulting from changes in the estimated transaction price due to contractual adjustments, obtaining updated information from payors and patients that was unknown at the time the performance obligation was met and potential and actual settlements with third party payors. The change in estimate also included an increase in revenue related to a partial release of a previously established payor reserve, as further disclosed in the “Certain Payor Matters” section below. The quarterly change in estimate did not result in material adjustments to the Company’s previously reported revenue or accounts receivable amounts.
Certain Payor Matters
As noted above, third-party payors, including government programs, may decide to deny payment or seek to recoup payments for tests performed by the Company that they contend were improperly billed, not medically necessary or against their coverage determinations, or for which they believe they have otherwise overpaid, including as a result of their own error. As a result, the Company may be required to refund payments already received, and the Company’s revenues may be subject to retroactive adjustment as a result of these factors among others, including without limitation, differing interpretations of billing and coding guidance, and changes by government agencies and payors in interpretations, requirements, policies and/or “conditions of participation” in various programs. The Company processes requests for recoupment from third-party payors in the ordinary course of its business, and it is likely that the Company will continue to do so in the future. If a third-party payor denies payment for testing or recoups money from the Company in a later period, reimbursement and the associated recognition of revenue for the Company’s testing services could decline.
From time to time, the Company may have an obligation to reimburse Medicare, Medicaid, and third-party payors for overpayments regardless of fault. Settlements with third-party payors for retroactive adjustments due to audits, reviews, or investigations are 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, the Company’s historical settlement activity (if any), and the Company’s 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 such adjustments become known (that is, if new information becomes available), or as years are settled or are no longer subject to such audits, reviews, and investigations.
On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with one of its third-party payors (the “Payor”) in order to settle the claims related to coverage and billing matters allegedly resulting in the overpayments by the Payor to Legacy Sema4 (the “Disputed Claims”). Under the settlement agreement, $42.0 million is to be paid by the Company to the Payor in a series of payments each year through June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2024, $22.0 million in scheduled payments under the agreement remain with $10.0 million due December 2024, $10.0 million in December 2025 and $2.0 million in 2026. In consideration for these payments, the Payor provided releases of the Disputed Claims, effective March 31, 2023.
As a result of this matter, and in connection with a review of certain billing policies and procedures undertaken by management, the Company considered the need to establish reserves for potential recoupments of payments previously made by third-party payors. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $25.1 million and $27.0 million of liabilities were recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively. The Company uses estimates, judgments, and assumptions to assess whether it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue may occur in future periods, based upon information presently available. These estimates are subject to change. In addition, as discussed above, the Company has made certain adjustments to its estimated variable consideration as result of this matter and other potential settlements with payors.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Due to the long-term nature of collaboration service agreements, the Company’s obligations pursuant to such agreements represents partially unsatisfied performance obligations at June 30, 2024. The revenues under these existing long-term service agreements are estimated to be approximately $2.1 million. The Company expects to recognize the majority of this revenue over the next nine months.
Costs to Fulfill Contracts
Costs associated with fulfilling the Company’s performance obligations pursuant to its collaboration service agreements include costs for services that are subcontracted to Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (“ISMMS”). Amounts are generally prepaid and then expensed in line with the pattern of revenue recognition. Prepayment of amounts prior to the costs being incurred are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current assets based upon forecasted performance.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred costs to fulfill contracts were nominal. At each period, all outstanding deferred costs were recorded as other current assets.
The cost recognized was $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These costs are recorded in the cost of services in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development Funding Commitment
In June 2017, ISMMS assigned a loan funding commitment from the DECD to the Company (the “DECD Loan Agreement”) to support the Genetic Sequencing Laboratory Project in Branford, Connecticut, with funding based on the achievement of certain project development phases. The DECD Loan Agreement provided for a total loan commitment of $15.5 million at a fixed annual interest rate of 2.0% for a term of 10 years. The Company was required to make interest-only payments through July 2023 and principal and interest payments commencing in August 2023. The final payment of principal and interest was due in July 2028. However, under the terms of the DECD Loan Agreement, the DECD granted a partial principal loan forgiveness of up to $12.3 million in the aggregate. Such forgiveness was contingent upon the Company achieving certain job creation and retention milestones and $4.5 million had been forgiven at December 31, 2022. This commitment was collateralized by a security interest in certain machinery and equipment the Company acquired from ISMMS, as defined in a separate security agreement.
In January 2023, the Company amended the DECD Loan Agreement, which resulted in the Company agreeing to pay $2.0 million in principal, obtaining $2.8 million in debt forgiveness for achieving its Phase 2 job milestone, and agreeing totwo new forgiveness milestone targets for its Phase 3 job milestone (eligible for $2.0 million in forgiveness) and a final phase job milestone (eligible for $1.0 million in forgiveness) (the “2022 Amended DECD Loan Agreement”). Upon execution of this amendment, the Company paid the $2.0 million in principal and received $2.8 million in debt forgiveness, and the Company recognized the debt forgiveness as other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The terms of the 2022 Amended DECD Loan Agreement require the Company to make interest-only payments through July 2024 and principal and interest payments commencing in August 2024 through July 2029 at the same fixed annual interest rate of 2.0%. The other terms of the 2022 Amended DECD Loan Agreement remained the same.
The outstanding loan balance from the 2022 Amended DECD Loan Agreement was $6.3 million at June 30, 2024.

The suit names as defendants all directors of CMLS at the time of the transaction, including certain directors who continue to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors, as well as CMLS Holdings LLC. The Company is not named as a defendant. The complaint alleges that the July 2, 2021 proxy statement mailed to CMLS stockholders in connection with the transaction contained false and misleading statements, and purports to assert a claim of breach of fiduciary duty against all individual defendants, and a similar claim against CMLS Holdings LLC and certain individuals for breach of fiduciary duty as control persons. The suit seeks to recover unspecified damages on behalf of the alleged class, among other relief. After defendants moved to dismiss the case, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint on July 6, 2023, revising certain allegations and adding third parties as defendants. The defendants answered the amended complaint on September 15, 2023. The Company is subject to certain claims for advancement and indemnification by the individual defendants in this proceeding.
During the second quarter of 2024, the parties reached an agreement in principle through mediation to resolve all claims for approximately $21 million. The agreement in principle is expected to be funded by the Company (based on its indemnification obligations) and available insurance of approximately $10 million. The parties are currently in the process of negotiating the formal stipulation of settlement, which must be approved by the Court in order to be finalized. There can be no assurance that the final stipulation of settlement will be executed, that the stipulation of settlement, if executed, will include the terms and conditions currently anticipated by the Company or that such stipulation of settlement will be approved by the Court. As of June 30, 2024, the Company reserved the aforementioned settlement and associated litigation costs of approximately $2.4 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and recorded insurance recoveries in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On November 28, 2023, a stockholder filed a derivative suit, allegedly on behalf of the Company, based largely on the same allegations in the securities class action referenced above. The suit was filed in federal court in the District of Delaware, styled Ghazaleh v. Schadt, et al, 23-cv-01357 (D. Del.), and purports to assert claims against certain of the Company’s former and current officers and directors under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and corporate waste. The Company is named only as a nominal defendant. The complaint seeks damages on the Company’s behalf, and seeks corporate governance and other relief. The parties have agreed to stay this suit in light of the securities class action referenced above, and hence no response to the complaint is currently due.
On June 25, 2024, a substantially similar stockholder derivative suit was filed in federal court in the District of Connecticut, styled Scinto v. Schadt, et al, 2:24-cv-01100 (D. Conn.). The suit, also purportedly brought on the Company’s behalf against certain of its former or current officers and directors, asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, corporate waste, and violations of Sections 10(b) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act. The Company is named only as a nominal defendant. The Complaint seeks damages on the Company’s behalf, as well as corporate governance reforms and other relief. The parties are discussing a stay of the case in light of the securities class action referenced above.
- Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is included within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as follows:
| Three months ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Cost of services | $86 | $251 | $134 | $(1,415) |

1 The Company recorded an aggregate reversal of stock-based compensation of $0.1 million and $7.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $3.3 million and $15.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to forfeiture activities upon employee terminations.
2 Includes $78 thousand of expense related to the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
The Company maintains the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2021 Plan”), which allows for grants of stock-based awards. No awards granted under the 2021 Plan are exercisable after 10 years from the date of grant, and the awards granted under the 2021 Plan generally vest over afour-year period on a graded vesting basis; however, the Company also granted certain
RSUs with vesting terms beginning 12 months from the grant date and vesting immediately on the grant date. On January 1 of each year through 2031, the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan may be increased automatically by the number of shares equal to 5% of the total number of shares of all classes of common stock issued and outstanding immediately preceding December 31. In January 2024, the number of Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2021 Plan automatically increased by 1,298,943 shares.
The Company also maintains the 2023 Equity Inducement Plan (the “Equity Inducement Plan”), which allows for grants of equity awards of the Company’s Class A common stock to individuals who were not previously an employee or director of the Company, or following a bona fide period of non-employment, as an inducement material to such persons entering into employment with the Company.
As of June 30, 2024, there was an aggregate of 1,748,523 shares available for grants of stock options or other awards under the 2021 Plan and Equity Inducement Plan.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
The following table summarizes the time-based RSU activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024:
| Restricted Stock Units | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at December 31, 2023 | 1,507,877 | $15.48 |
| Granted | 1,178,465 | $11.17 |
| Vested | (270,160) | $19.20 |
| Forfeited | (236,255) | $18.63 |
| Outstanding at June 30, 2024 | 2,179,927 | $12.17 |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”) authorizes the issuance of shares of Class A common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to employees. On January 1 of each year through 2031, the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 ESPP may be increased automatically by the number of shares equal to 1% of the total number of shares of all classes of common stock issued and outstanding immediately preceding December 31.
The 2021 ESPP became open for enrollment in April 2024. Under the 2021 ESPP, eligible employees may purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a discount through payroll deductions during each discretesix-month offering period. The purchase price under each discrete offering period is equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the first and last day of the offering period.
The first offering period will be completed on October 31, 2024. As such, the Company hasnot issued any shares under the 2021 ESPP during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. A total of 596,604 shares of Class A common stock were reserved for future issuance under the 2021 ESPP as of June 30, 2024.
- Income Taxes
Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Income taxes for these periods are recorded at the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate, subject to adjustments for discrete events should they occur. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate was 0.48% and 0.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates in 2024 and 2023 compared to the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% is primarily due to changes in valuation allowances associated with the Company’s assessment of the likelihood of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. The Company currently has valuation allowances against a significant portion of its deferred tax assets primarily related to its net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards.

- Segment Reporting
The Company’s structure is aligned with how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews the business, makes investing and resource allocation decisions and assesses operating performance. The Company’stwo reportable segments are: (i)
GeneDx inclusive of Legacy GeneDx and Legacy Sema4 data revenues and associated costs and (ii) Legacy Sema4 diagnostics. The GeneDx segment primarily provides pediatric and rare disease diagnostics with a focus on whole exome and genome sequencing and, to a lesser extent, data and information services. The Legacy Sema4 diagnostics segment provided reproductive and women’s health and somatic oncology diagnostic testing and screening products and has been completely shut down.
The CODM evaluates segment performance based on revenue and adjusted gross profit.
