FORT MYERS, FL / ACCESSWIRE / July 30, 2019 / NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEO) (the Company), a leading provider of cancer-focused genetics testing services, today announced second-quarter and first-half results for the period ended June 30, 2019.

Douglas M. VanOort, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “Our second quarter financial results were strong, building on the momentum that we saw in the first quarter. Our Clinical Services revenue growth remains well above our expectations and is driven by continued market share gains. Our Pharma Services revenue growth accelerated to more than 50%, even as we grew our backlog of contracted business to record levels. The integration of Genoptix is proceeding on schedule and profitability continued to improve as a result of better operating leverage and cost efficiency.

During the quarter we significantly strengthened our Balance Sheet, launched a critical new companion diagnostic test for breast cancer patients and announced plans for a new state-of-the art laboratory and global headquarters.

We are pleased with our 2019 first-half performance, optimistic about our prospects for the second half of this year, and confident in our strategies for the future.”

Second-Quarter Results

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were $101.7 million, an increase of 50% over the same period in 2018. Clinical test volume(1) increased by 34% year over year. Average revenue per clinical test (“revenue per test”) increased by 12% to $355, primarily due to the acquisition of Genoptix. Clinical Services revenue was $89.0 million resulting in a 49% increase over the second quarter of prior year. Pharma Services reported record revenue of $12.7 million, which represented a 55% growth rate over the second quarter of 2018.

Gross profit improved by $18.4 million, or 60%, compared to the second quarter of 2018, to $49.0 million. Gross margin improved by approximately 300 basis points year-over-year to 48.1%. Gross margin improvement reflects the impact of volume growth, higher revenue per test, productivity gains, and cost efficiencies. Average cost of goods sold per clinical test (“cost per test”) increased by 8% year over year reflecting the impact of the Genoptix acquisition, partially offset by continued efficiencies.

Operating expenses increased by $14.8 million, or 50%, compared to the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to the Genoptix acquisition and an increase in investments in information technology and growth initiatives.

Net income for the quarter was $2.0 million compared to a net loss of $0.4 million for the same period a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $14.9 million for the quarter, a 49% improvement from the prior year. Adjusted Net Income(2) was $7.2 million compared to Adjusted Net Income of $4.5 million in the prior year.

Cash and cash equivalents was $167.4 million at the end of the second quarter, reflecting the proceeds from the equity offering. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) increased 3 days to 81 days when compared to the first quarter of 2019.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Companys 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 Companys business. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to evaluate the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys recorded costs against its net revenue. In addition, the Companys 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 Income

Adjusted Net 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, (iii) non-cash deemed dividends on preferred stock, (iv) non-cash amortization of preferred stock beneficial conversion feature, 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 Diluted EPS

Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined by NeoGenomics as adjusted net 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 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.

(3) This adjustment is for rounding and in those periods in which there is a net loss attributable to common shareholders, will also compensate for the effects of including the Series A Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis and the treasury stock impact of outstanding stock options in the Adjusted diluted shares outstanding (non-GAAP), both of which are not included in GAAP diluted shares outstanding.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Guidance to Corresponding GAAP Measures

Net (loss) income (GAAP) in 2019 will be impacted by certain charges, including: (i) expense related to the amortization of customer lists and other intangibles, (ii) non-cash stock based compensation (iii) acquisition and integration related expenses and non-recurring charges, (iv) other one-time charges. These charges have been included in GAAP net income available to common shareholders and GAAP net income per share; however, they have been removed from Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) and Adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP).

The following table reconciles our 2019 outlook for net income and EPS to the corresponding non-GAAP measures of “Adjusted net income (non-GAAP)”, “Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)” and “Adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP)” (in thousands except per share amounts):
