Adjusted EBITDA Improves 305%; Fifth Consecutive Quarter of Positive Adjusted EBITDA; Increasing FY Guidance to $37-$40 Million

FORT MYERS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2024-- NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEO) (the “Company”), a leading oncology testing services company, today announced its third-quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2024.

“We delivered a strong third quarter, again growing revenue by double digits and increasing adjusted EBITDA by over 300%, all while serving a record number of patients,” said Chris Smith, Chief Executive Officer of NeoGenomics. “Our results demonstrate our teammates' commitment to executing on our strategic priorities. This disciplined approach has enabled us to increase our adjusted EBITDA expectations for the year while continuing to position the Company for long term, sustainable growth.”

Third-Quarter Results

Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $168 million, an increase of 10% over the same period in 2023. Clinical Services revenue of $146 million increased year-over-year by 14%. Clinical test volume⁽¹⁾ increased by 9% year-over-year. Average revenue per clinical test (“revenue per test”) increased by 5% to $463. These increases in Clinical Services reflect higher value tests, including NGS, and strategic reimbursement initiatives. Advanced Diagnostics revenue decreased by 10% to $22 million compared to the third quarter of 2023 primarily driven by international site closures, restructuring activities and lower RaDaR^® revenue.

Consolidated gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 was $74.9 million, an increase of 20.2% compared to the third quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue partially offset by higher compensation and benefit costs. Consolidated gross profit margin, including amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense, was 44.6%. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin⁽²⁾, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense, was 47.8%.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $96 million, an increase of $10 million, or 11%, compared to the third quarter of 2023. Operating expenses included higher compensation and benefit costs as well as an increase in legal and professional fees including a settlement payment for IP litigation. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in restructuring activities.

Net loss for the quarter decreased $1 million, or 4%, to $18 million compared to net loss of $19 million for the third quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ increased $10 million, or 305%, to positive $13 million compared to positive $3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted Net Income⁽²⁾ was $7 million compared to Adjusted Net Loss⁽²⁾ of $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $388 million at quarter end.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In order to provide greater transparency regarding our operating performance, the financial results and financial guidance in this press release refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures that involve adjustments to GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain income and/or expense items that management believes are not directly attributable to the Company’s core operating results and/or certain items that are inconsistent in amounts and frequency, making it difficult to perform a meaningful evaluation of our current or past operating performance. Management believes that the presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors by facilitating the analysis of the Company’s core test-level operating results across reporting periods and when comparing those same results to those published by our peers. These non-GAAP financial measures may also assist investors in evaluating future prospects. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting purposes and to manage the business. These non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP financial results, should not be considered measures of liquidity, and are unlikely to be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined by NeoGenomics as net (loss) income from continuing operations before: (i) interest income, (ii) interest expense, (iii) tax (benefit) or expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, (v) stock-based compensation expense, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (vi) restructuring charges, (vii) intellectual property (“IP”) litigation costs, (viii) CEO transition costs, and (ix) other significant or non-operating (income) or expenses, net.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Cost of Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin

“Adjusted cost of revenue” is defined by NeoGenomics as cost of revenue before: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (ii) stock-based compensation expense.

“Adjusted gross profit” is defined by NeoGenomics as total revenue less adjusted cost of revenue.

“Adjusted gross profit margin” is defined by NeoGenomics as adjusted cost of revenue divided by total revenue.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net (Loss) Income

“Adjusted net (loss) income” is defined by NeoGenomics as net (loss) income from continuing operations plus: (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (iii) restructuring charges, (iv) IP litigation costs, (v) CEO transition costs, and (vi) other significant or non-operating (income) or expenses, net. If GAAP net (loss) income is negative and adjusted net (loss) income is positive, adjusted net (loss) income will also be adjusted to reverse any recognized interest expense (including any amortization of discounts) on the convertible notes using the if-converted method unless the effect of this adjustment on both the adjusted net (loss) income and weighted average diluted common shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive. If GAAP net (loss) income is positive and adjusted net (loss) income is negative, adjusted net (loss) income will also be adjusted to reverse any recognized interest expense (including any amortization of discounts) on the convertible notes using the if-converted method.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS

“Adjusted diluted EPS” is defined by NeoGenomics as adjusted net (loss) income divided by adjusted diluted shares outstanding. If GAAP net (loss) income is negative and adjusted net (loss) income is positive, adjusted diluted shares outstanding will also include any options or restricted stock that would be outstanding as dilutive instruments using the treasury stock method and the weighted average number of common shares that would be outstanding if the convertible notes were converted into common stock on the original issue date based on the number of days such common shares would have been outstanding in the reporting period, until the effect of these adjustments are anti-dilutive. If GAAP net (loss) income is positive and adjusted net (loss) income is negative, adjusted diluted shares outstanding will exclude any options or restricted stock that would be outstanding as dilutive instruments using the treasury stock method and the weighted average number of common shares that would be outstanding if the convertible notes were converted into common stock on the original issue date based on the number of days such common shares would have been outstanding in the reporting period.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Guidance to Corresponding GAAP Measures
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)

GAAP net loss in 2024 will be impacted by certain charges, including: (i) expense related to the amortization of intangible assets, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) restructuring charges, and (iv) other one-time expenses. These charges have been included in GAAP net loss available to stockholders and GAAP net loss per share; however, they have been removed from adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted net loss per share.

The following table reconciles the Company’s 2024 outlook for net loss and EPS to the corresponding non-GAAP measures of adjusted net loss, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted diluted EPS:
