FORT MYERS, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 28, 2020 / NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEO) (the "Company"), a leading provider of cancer-focused genetics testing services, today announced its first-quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2020.

"Our employees have worked with enormous dedication and professionalism to continue our essential testing service for cancer patients throughout this extraordinary time. We have been able to keep all of our main laboratory facilities open, and have maintained excellent quality and turn-around-time, without interruption or delay. I could not be more proud of our team." said Douglas M. VanOort, Chairman and CEO of NeoGenomics. "Clearly, there has been a disruption in Oncology care like many other areas of our society. And while our business is not immune from the impact of COVID-19, it is certainly resilient. We are well positioned competitively, we fully believe in our growth potential and plans, and we are continuing to invest in important growth initiatives. Our long-term growth outlook remains compelling and we expect to emerge from this situation stronger than ever."

First-Quarter Results

Consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $106.0 million, an increase of 11% over the same period in 2019. Clinical Services revenue increased year-over-year by 8% to $93.0 million. This was driven by a clinical test volume(1) increase of 7% year over year. Average revenue per clinical test ("revenue per test") increased slightly by 1% to $371. Pharma Services revenue grew by 39% to $13.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to the January 10, 2020 acquisition of the Oncology Division assets of Human Longevity, Inc. ("HLI - Oncology"). Disruptions in volume stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic reduced growth in both Divisions.

Gross profit decreased slightly by $0.7 million, or 1.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2019, to $46.4 million. Gross margin declined to 43.7%, primarily due to higher average cost per test of Clinical Services and the timing of Pharma Services revenue. Average cost of goods sold per clinical test ("cost per test") increased by 7% year-over-year, reflecting the impact of higher costs due to the integration of Genoptix and additional testing capacity which was unused due to the impact of COVID-19.

Operating expenses increased by $7.1 million, or 16%, compared to the first quarter of 2019, reflecting the impact of investments in research and development, informatics, growth initiatives and the acquisition of HLI - Oncology.

Net loss for the quarter was $7.0 million compared to net loss of $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $7.1 million for the quarter compared to $13.8 million in the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted Net (Loss) Income(2) was a loss of $2.2 million compared to income of $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was $125.0 million and days sales outstanding ("DSO") was 86 days at the end of the first quarter of 2020.

(1) Clinical tests exclude tests performed for Pharma Services customers.

(2) The Company has provided adjusted financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS. Each of these measures is defined in the section of this report entitled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures." See also the tables reconciling such measures to their closest GAAP equivalent.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's financial results and financial guidance are provided in accordance with GAAP and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that the presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company's core operating results and comparison of core operating results across reporting periods. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting purposes and to manage the Company's business. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to evaluate the Company's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not present the full measure of the Company's recorded costs against its net revenue. In addition, the Company's definition of the non-GAAP financial measures below may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined by NeoGenomics as net income from continuing operations before: (i) interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (v) acquisition and integration related expenses, (vi) non-cash impairments of intangible assets, (vii) debt financing costs, (viii) and other significant non-recurring or non-operating (income) or expenses.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net (Loss) Income

"Adjusted Net (Loss) Income" is defined by NeoGenomics as net income available to common shareholders from continuing operations plus: (i) non-cash amortization of customer lists and other intangible assets, (ii) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (iii) acquisition and integration related expenses, (iv) non-cash impairments of intangible assets, (v) debt financing costs, (vi) and other significant non-recurring or non-operating (income) or expenses.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS

"Adjusted Diluted EPS" is defined by NeoGenomics as adjusted net (loss) income divided by adjusted diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted diluted shares outstanding is the sum of diluted shares outstanding and the weighted average number of common shares that would be outstanding if the preferred stock 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. In addition, if GAAP net income is negative and adjusted net (loss) income is positive, adjusted diluted shares will also include any options or warrants that would be outstanding as dilutive instruments using the treasury stock method.
