Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

Exact Sciences Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Exact,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in February 1995. Exact is a leading global cancer diagnostics company. It has developed some of the most impactful tests in cancer screening and diagnostics, including Cologuard® and Oncotype DX®. Exact is currently working on the development of additional tests, with the goal of bringing new, innovative cancer tests to patients throughout the world.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities, are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2022 Form 10-K”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and follow the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited financial statements, but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the 2022 Form 10-K. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. The statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the 2022 Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those that affect the Company’s financial statements materially and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management, and actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates include revenue recognition, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, valuation of contingent consideration, and accounting for income taxes among others. The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are explained further in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the 2022 Form 10-K.

Significant Accounting Policies

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, except as described in the Contingent Consideration Asset and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements sections below.

Contingent Consideration Asset

The sale of the Company’s intellectual property and know-how related to the Company’s Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score test (“GPS test”) resulted in the recognition of variable consideration in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that it is entitled to each quarter using the most likely amount method and considers whether there are any constraints on the consideration. If it is probable that a significant reversal of a gain would not occur, the Company will record a gain. To determine the classification of the consideration, the Company determines if the consideration is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Revenue-based contingent consideration that is conditional on something other than the passage of time, including future revenues from sales related to the GPS test, result in the variable consideration being classified as a contract asset. At the time the amount earned is determined, and passage of time is the only condition remaining, the contract asset is reclassified to a receivable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statement (Topic 205 ), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220 ), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480 ), Equity (Topic 505 ), and Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718 ), to amend various SEC paragraphs in the ASC to reflect the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, among other things. The Company adopted this conforming guidance upon issuance, and the adoption had no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share (“EPS”) was determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based on shares that are outstanding per the calculation of basic EPS and on potentially dilutive shares.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic EPS and diluted EPS for the periods indicated:

						Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,

The Company evaluates investments that are in an unrealized loss position for impairment as a result of credit loss. It was determined that no credit losses exist as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 because the change in market value for those securities in an unrealized loss position resulted from fluctuating interest rates rather than a deterioration of the credit worthiness of the issuers.

The gains and losses recorded on available-for-sale debt securities and equity securities are included in investment income (loss), net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The gains and losses recorded were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

On August 2, 2022, the Company completed a sale of the developed technology intangible asset related to the GPS test to MDxHealth SA (“MDxHealth”), which was measured using the income approach to determine the fair value. The gross value of the intangible asset was $59.0 million with accumulated amortization of $16.1 million as of the closing date, resulting in a carrying value of $42.9 million, which was derecognized from intangible assets, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets upon completion of the divestiture. Refer to the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K for further information on the sale.

During the third quarter of 2022, the remaining carrying value of $2.0 million related to the supply agreement intangible asset acquired as part of the combination with Genomic Health, Inc. (“Genomic Health”) was recorded as a non-cash, pre-tax impairment loss due to the termination of the agreement.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a non-cash, pre-tax impairment loss of $6.6 million related to the acquired developed technology intangible asset acquired as a result of the acquisition of Paradigm Diagnostics, Inc. due to lower than anticipated performance of the underlying product.

The impairment charges recorded are included in impairment of long-lived assets in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(7) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy established are as follows:

Level 1    Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2    Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3    Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

The Company has elected the fair value option under the income approach to measure its non-marketable securities categorized as Level 3 measurements. Gains and losses recorded on non-marketable securities are included in investment income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of non-marketable securities valued using the fair value option:

(In thousands)						Non-Marketable Securities
Beginning balance, January 1, 2023						$	10,065
Purchases of non-marketable securities						6,957
Changes in fair value						(7,965)
Ending balance, September 30, 2023						$	9,057

Contingent Consideration Liabilities

The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities was $293.8 million and $306.9 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which was included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of contingent consideration:

(In thousands)						Contingent Consideration
Beginning balance, January 1, 2023						$	306,927
Changes in fair value (1)						(13,051)
Payments						(99)
Ending balance, September 30, 2023						$	293,777

______________

(1)The change in fair value of the contingent consideration liability was a reduction of $5.9 million and $57.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

This fair value measurement of contingent consideration is categorized as a Level 3 liability, as the measurement amount is based primarily on significant inputs not observable in the market.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities recorded from the Company’s acquisitions of Thrive Earlier Detection Corporation (“Thrive”), Ashion Analytics, LLC (“Ashion”), and OmicEra related to regulatory and product development milestones was $293.8 million and $306.8 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company evaluates the fair value of the expected contingent consideration and the corresponding liabilities related to the regulatory and product development milestones using the probability-weighted scenario based discounted cash flow model, which is consistent with the initial measurement of the expected contingent consideration liabilities. Probabilities of success are applied to each potential scenario and the resulting values are discounted using a present-value factor. The passage of time in addition to changes in projected milestone achievement timing, present-value factor, the degree of achievement, if applicable, and probabilities of success may result in adjustments to the fair value measurement. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability recorded related to regulatory and product development milestones was determined using a weighted average probability of success of 91% as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and a weighted average present-value factor of 6.7% and 6.2% as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The projected fiscal year of payment range is from 2025 to 2029. Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to certain revenue milestones associated with the Biomatrica, Inc. acquisition was not material as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The revenue milestone associated with the Ashion acquisition is not expected to be achieved and therefore no liability has been recorded for this milestone.

Non-Marketable Equity Investments

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the aggregate carrying amounts of the Company’s non-marketable equity securities without readily determinable fair values were $31.7 million and $39.8 million, respectively, which are classified as a component of other long-term assets, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Since initial recognition of these investments, there have been no material upward or downward adjustments as a result of observable price changes. A realized gain of $5.4 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2023 as a result of an investee being acquired. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company determined that one of its investments was fully impaired and recorded a $10.0 million realized loss.

The Company has committed capital to venture capital investment funds (the “Funds”) of $17.5 million, of which $12.4 million remained callable through 2033 as of September 30, 2023. The aggregate carrying amount of the Funds, which are classified as a component of other long-term assets, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, were $5.1 million and $3.9 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts on the last day of each month to mitigate the impact of adverse movements in foreign exchange rates related to the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities and hedge the Company’s foreign currency exchange rate exposure. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company had open foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $33.3 million and $22.3 million, respectively. The Company's foreign exchange derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair value of the open foreign currency forward contracts was zero at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and there were no gains or losses recorded to adjust the fair value of the open foreign currency contract held as of September 30, 2023. The contracts are closed subsequent to each month-end, and the gains and losses recorded from the contracts were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

(8) LONG-TERM DEBT

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

On June 29, 2022, the Company, through a wholly-owned special purpose entity, Exact Receivables LLC (“Exact Receivables”) entered into an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), with a scheduled maturity date of June 29, 2024. The Securitization Facility provides Exact Receivables with a revolving line-of-credit of up to $150.0 million of borrowing capacity, subject to certain borrowing base requirements, by collateralizing a security interest in the domestic customer accounts receivable of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The amount available under the Securitization Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible customer accounts receivable generated by the Company during the normal course of operations. The Securitization Facility requires the Company to maintain minimum borrowings under the facility of $50.0 million. The debt issuance costs incurred related to the Securitization Facility were not material and are being amortized over the life of the Securitization Facility through interest expense within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the Securitization Facility, the Company also entered into two Receivables Purchase Agreements (“Receivable Purchase Agreements”) on June 29, 2022. The Receivable Purchase Agreements are among the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and between the Company and Exact Receivables. Under the agreements, the wholly-owned subsidiaries sell all of their right, title and interest in their accounts receivables to Exact Receivables. The receivables are used to collateralize borrowings made under the Securitization Facility. The Company retains the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral under the Securitization Facility and provides a performance guaranty.

As of September 30, 2023, the eligible borrowing base under the Securitization Facility was $102.9 million of which the Company elected to collateralize $50.0 million. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding balance of $50.0 million, which is included in debt, current portion and long-term debt, less current portion, respectively, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The outstanding balance accrues interest at a rate equal to a daily secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) rate plus a SOFR adjustment and an applicable margin. The interest rate was 6.88% at September 30, 2023.

Revolving Loan Agreement

During November 2021, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement (the “Revolving Loan Agreement”) with PNC. The Revolving Loan Agreement provides the Company with a revolving line of credit of up to $150.0 million (the “Revolver”). The Revolver is collateralized by the Company’s marketable securities held by PNC, which must continue to maintain a minimum market value of $150.0 million. The Revolver is available for general working capital purposes and all other lawful corporate purposes. In addition, the Company may request, in lieu of cash advances, letters of credit with an aggregate stated amount outstanding not to exceed $20.0 million. The availability of advances under the line of credit will be reduced by the stated amount of each letter of credit issued and outstanding.

Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the sum of the daily Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index Rate plus the applicable margin of 0.60%. Loans under the Revolving Loan Agreement may be prepaid at any time without penalty. In October 2022, the Revolving Loan Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date from November 5, 2023 to November 5, 2025. There were no other amendments to the Revolver.

The Company has agreed to various financial covenants under the Revolving Loan Agreement, and as of September 30, 2023, the Company is in compliance with all covenants.

In December 2021 and January 2023, PNC issued a letters of credit of $2.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which reduced the amount available for cash advances under the line of credit to $145.6 million and $147.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has not drawn funds from, nor are any amounts outstanding under, the Revolving Loan Agreement.

Issuances and Settlements

In February 2023, the Company entered into a privately negotiated exchange and purchase agreement with a single holder of certain of the Company’s convertible notes due in 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) and 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). The Company issued the holder $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.0% Convertible Notes due in 2030 (collectively, the “2030 Notes”) in exchange for $183.7 million of aggregate principal of 2027 Notes, $201.0 million of aggregate principal of 2028 Notes, and $138.0 million of cash. The extinguishment resulted in a gain on settlement of convertible notes of $17.7 million, which is included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The gain represents the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration transferred and (ii) the carrying value of the debt at the time of exchange.

In March 2023, the Company entered into a privately negotiated exchange agreement with two holders of certain of the Company’s convertible notes due in 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). The Company issued the holder $73.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes in exchange for $65.8 million of aggregate principal of 2025 Notes. The extinguishment resulted in a loss on settlement of convertible notes of $7.4 million, which is included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The loss represents the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration transferred and (ii) the carrying value of the debt at the time of exchange.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Notes were approximately $133.0 million, after deducting commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.

The 2030 Notes will mature on March 1, 2030 and bear interest at a rate of 2.0% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2023.

Summary of Conversion Features

Until the six-months immediately preceding the maturity date of the applicable series of the Company’s convertible notes (the “Notes”), each series of Notes is convertible only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods, as set forth in the Indentures filed at the time of the original offerings. On or after the date that is six-months immediately preceding the maturity date of the applicable series of Notes until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert such Notes at any time. The Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock (plus, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional share), or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election.

It is the Company’s intent and policy to settle all conversions through combination settlement. The initial conversion rate is 13.26, 8.96, 8.21, and 12.37 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount for the 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes, and 2030 Notes, respectively, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $75.43, $111.66, $121.84, and $80.83 per share of the Company’s common stock for the 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes, and 2030 Notes, respectively. The 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes, and 2030 Notes are potentially convertible into up to 3.3 million, 5.0 million, 7.8 million, and 7.1 million shares, respectively. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the Indentures filed at the time of the original offerings but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, holders of the Notes who convert their Notes in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), will, under certain circumstances, be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate.

If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Indentures), holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $68.22 on September 30, 2023, the if-converted values on the Notes do not exceed the principal amount.

The Notes do not contain any financial or operating covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the issuance of other indebtedness, or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company.

Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research

In June 2009, the Company entered into a license agreement with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”). The Company’s license agreement with Mayo was most recently amended and restated in September 2020. Under the license agreement, Mayo granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide license to certain Mayo patents and patent applications, as well as a non-exclusive, worldwide license with regard to certain Mayo know-how. The scope of the license covers any screening, surveillance or diagnostic test or tool for use in connection with any type of cancer, pre-cancer, disease or condition.

The licensed Mayo patents and patent applications contain both method and composition claims that relate to sample processing, analytical testing and data analysis associated with nucleic acid screening for cancers and other diseases. The jurisdictions covered by these patents and patent applications include the U.S., Australia, Canada, the European Union, China, Japan and Korea. Under the license agreement, the Company assumed the obligation and expense of prosecuting and maintaining the licensed Mayo patents and is obligated to make commercially reasonable efforts to bring to market products using the licensed Mayo intellectual property.

Pursuant to the Company’s agreement with Mayo, the Company is required to pay Mayo a low-single-digit royalty on the Company’s net sales of current and future products using the licensed Mayo intellectual property each year during the term of the Mayo agreement.

As part of the most recent amendment, the Company agreed to pay Mayo an additional $6.3 million, payable in five equal annual installments through 2024. The annual installments are recorded in research and development expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The license agreement will remain in effect, unless earlier terminated by the parties in accordance with the agreement, until the last of the licensed patents expires in 2039 (or later, if certain licensed patent applications are issued). However, if the Company is still using the licensed Mayo know-how or certain Mayo-provided biological specimens or their derivatives on such expiration date, the term shall continue until the earlier of the date the Company stops using such know-how and materials and the date that is five years after the last licensed patent expires. The license agreement contains customary termination provisions and permits Mayo to terminate the license agreement if the Company sues Mayo or its affiliates, other than any such suit claiming an uncured material breach by Mayo of the license agreement.

In addition to granting the Company a license to the covered Mayo intellectual property, Mayo provides the Company with product development and research and development assistance pursuant to the license agreement and other collaborative arrangements. In September 2020, Mayo also agreed to make available certain personnel to provide such assistance through January 2025. In connection with this collaboration, the Company incurred charges of $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred charges of $3.7 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The charges incurred in connection with this collaboration are recorded in research and development expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Johns Hopkins University

Through the acquisition of Thrive, the Company acquired a worldwide exclusive license agreement with Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”) for use of several JHU patents and licensed know-how. The license is designed to enable the Company to leverage JHU proprietary data in the development and commercialization of a blood-based, multi-cancer early detection test. The agreement terms include single-digit sales-based royalties and sales-based milestone payments of $10.0 million, $15.0 million, and $20.0 million upon achieving calendar year licensed product revenue using JHU proprietary data of $0.50 billion, $1.00 billion, and $1.50 billion, respectively.

Translational Genomics Research Institute

In January 2021, the Company entered into a worldwide exclusive license to the proprietary Targeted Digital Sequencing (“TARDIS”) technology from Translational Genomics Research Institute (“TGen”), an affiliate of City of Hope. Under the agreement, the Company acquired a royalty-free, worldwide exclusive license to proprietary TARDIS patents and know-how. Under the agreement, the Company is obligated to make milestone payments to TGen of $10.0 million and $35.0 million upon achieving cumulative product revenue related to MRD detection and/or treatment totaling $100.0 million and $250.0 million, respectively. These payments are contingent upon achievement of these cumulative revenues on or before December 31, 2030. The Company will record the sales milestones once achievement is deemed probable.

Broad Institute, Inc.

In June 2023, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Broad Institute, Inc. (“Broad Institute”) to utilize the Minor Allele Enriched Sequencing Through Recognition Oligonucleotides (“MAESTRO”) technology in the Company’s molecular residual disease (“MRD”) testing. The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition. In connection with the asset acquisition, the Company paid $0.5 million upfront in cash, which was recorded to research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the asset was deemed to be incomplete and had no alternative future use at the time of acquisition. Under the license agreement, the Company is obligated to make development milestone payments to Broad Institute of up to $6.5 million upon achievement of certain development milestones related to prospective MRD tests that use the MAESTRO technology. In addition, the Company is obligated to make sales-based milestone payments to Broad Institute that equate up to a mid-single-digit royalty upon the achievement of certain cumulative net sales targets of licensed products using the MAESTRO technology beginning at $500.0 million. The Company will record the development milestones once achieved and the sales milestones once achievement is deemed probable.

Watchmaker Genomics, Inc.

In July 2023, the Company entered into a co-exclusive development and license agreement with Watchmaker Genomics, Inc. (“Watchmaker”) under which the Company granted Watchmaker a co-exclusive license to the non-bisulfite technology for the detection of methylated DNA and other epigenetic modifications (“TAPS”). TAPS is based on patents obtained by the Company through an exclusive license agreement with the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research. Under the agreement, both parties have the right to use and develop TAPS for commercial purposes. The Company has the potential to receive up to $82.0 million in sales-based milestone payments and mid-single digit royalties based on future Watchmaker net sales of licensed products including TAPS. Additionally, Watchmaker has the right to sublicense TAPS, and the Company has the potential to receive royalties based on future Watchmaker sublicense receipts.

(11) PFIZER PROMOTION AGREEMENT

In August 2018, the Company entered into a Promotion Agreement (the “Original Promotion Agreement”) with Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”), which was amended and restated in October 2020 (the “Restated Promotion Agreement”). The Restated Promotion Agreement extended the relationship between the Company and Pfizer and restructured the manner in which the Company compensates Pfizer for promotion of the Cologuard test through a service fee, and provision of certain other sales and marketing services related to the Cologuard test. The Restated Promotion Agreement included fixed and performance-related fees, some of which retroactively went into effect on April 1, 2020. In November 2021, the Company and Pfizer entered into an amendment to the Restated Promotion Agreement (the “November 2021 Amendment”), which provided that after November 30, 2021, Pfizer will no longer promote the Cologuard test to healthcare providers. The November 2021 Amendment provided that the Company pay Pfizer a total of $35.9 million in three installments, which occurred during the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2022. The November 2021 Amendment eliminated the Company's obligation to pay Pfizer royalties or other fees except for certain media fees, advertising fees, and any detail fees owed to Pfizer for promoting the Cologuard test prior to November 30, 2021. The $35.9 million fee incurred as a result of the November 2021 Amendment was recognized in full during the fourth quarter of 2021. All payments to Pfizer are recorded in sales and marketing expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Under the Original Promotion Agreement, the service fee was calculated based on incremental gross profits over specified baselines during the term. Under the Restated Promotion Agreement (and prior to giving effect to the November 2021 Amendment), the service fee provided a fee-for-service model that included certain fixed fees and performance-related bonuses. The performance-related bonuses were contingent upon the achievement of certain annual performance criteria with any applicable expense being recognized ratably upon achievement of the payment becoming probable. The Company incurred a

charge of $2.5 million and $7.5 million for the service fee during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company incurred charges of $20.6 million and $86.1 million for promotion, sales and marketing services performed by Pfizer on behalf of the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. All services provided by Pfizer under the November 2021 Amendment ended in the third quarter of 2022, and there were no payments made or charges incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

(13) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company maintains the following plans for which awards were granted from or had awards outstanding in 2023: the 2010 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective July 27, 2017), the 2019 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, and the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (collectively referred to as the “Stock Plans”).

In February 2023, the Company adopted the Equity Award Death, Disability and Retirement Policy (the “Policy”) as further described in Item 9B of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. The terms of the Policy will result in the recognition of expense on an accelerated basis for retirement-eligible participants for restricted stock units only. The Policy was considered a modification to outstanding awards with no impact to fair value. The accelerated stock-based compensation expense recorded as a result of the modification was not material and is being recognized over the period from the date of modification to the date in which each participant becomes retirement-eligible.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company records stock-based compensation expense in connection with its restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, performance share units, stock purchase rights granted under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and stock options granted to employees, non-employee consultants and non-employee directors. The Company recorded $61.9 million and $49.5 million in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded $172.7 million and $160.9 million in stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023, there was approximately $404.5 million of expected total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under all equity compensation plans. The Company expects to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 2.6 years.

Legal Matters

The Company accrues costs for certain legal proceedings and regulatory matters to the extent that it determines an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. While such accrued costs reflect the Company’s best estimate of the probable loss for such matters, the recorded amounts may differ materially from the actual amount of any such losses. In some cases, no estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued, if any, can be made because of the inherently unpredictable nature of legal and regulatory proceedings, which may be exacerbated by various factors, including but not limited to, that they may involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages or may involve fines, penalties or punitive damages; present novel legal theories or legal uncertainties; involve disputed facts; represent a shift in regulatory policy; involve a large number of parties, claimants or regulatory bodies; are in the early stages of the proceedings; involve a number of separate proceedings and/or a wide range of potential outcomes; or result in a change of business practices.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, amounts accrued for legal proceedings and regulatory matters were not material except for the amounts accrued related to the matters discussed below. However, it is possible that in a particular quarter or annual period the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and/or liquidity could be materially adversely affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of, or development in, legal and/or regulatory proceedings, including as described below. Except for the proceedings discussed below, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of any of the regulatory and legal proceedings that are currently pending against it should not have a material adverse effect on financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or liquidity.

DOS Rule Matter

In September 2023, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Genomic Health, Inc., which was acquired in November 2019, entered into a settlement agreement with the United States of America, acting through the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and on behalf of the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, and two qui tam relators to resolve the previously disclosed civil investigation concerning Genomic Health’s compliance with the Medicare Date of Service billing regulations (the “DOS Rule Matter”). Genomic Health entered into the settlement agreement to avoid the delay, uncertainty and expense of protracted litigation. The settlement agreement contains no admission of liability by Genomic Health.

Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company made a payment $32.5 million, which the Company had accrued as a reserve for this matter as of June 30, 2023. Following the United States’ receipt of the settlement payment, the Company was released from any civil or administrative monetary claims under the civil False Claims Act and other specified civil statutes and common law theories of liability concerning the conduct identified in the settlement agreement.

On September 29, 2023, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York unsealed two qui tam actions filed under the False Claims Act involving the DOS Rule Matter, and on October 2, 2023, those two actions were dismissed with prejudice pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement.

Gift Card Matter

On June 24, 2019, Niles Rosen M.D. filed a sealed ex parte qui tam lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, that alleged a violation of the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act for offering gift cards to patients in exchange for returning the Cologuard screening test (the “Qui Tam Suit”). Dr. Rosen seeks on behalf of the U.S. government and himself an award of civil penalties, treble damages and fees and costs. On February 25, 2020, the Company received a civil investigative demand by the DOJ related to the Company’s gift card program. The Company produced documents in response thereto. On March 25, 2021, the DOJ filed a notice of its election to decline intervention in the Qui Tam Suit. This election did not prevent Dr. Rosen from continuing the Qui Tam Suit. On April 12, 2021,

Dr. Rosen filed an amended complaint against the Company, alleging violations of the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act. The Company first learned of the Qui Tam Suit and the DOJ’s election to decline intervention in July 2021. On September 26, 2023, the Company, Dr. Rosen and the United States, acting through the DOJ, executed a settlement agreement to resolve the claims and dismiss the lawsuit. The Company made payment of $13.8 million plus legal fees in October 2023, which is included within accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as of September 30, 2023.

(15) WISCONSIN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TAX CREDITS

During February 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (“WEDC,” “Original WEDC Agreement”) to earn $9.0 million in refundable tax credits on the condition that the Company expends $26.3 million in capital investments and establishes and maintains 758 full-time positions over a seven-year period.

During December 2021, the Company amended its agreement with the WEDC (“Amended WEDC Agreement”) to earn an additional $18.5 million in refundable tax credits on the condition that the Company expends $350.0 million in capital investments and establishes and maintains 1,300 additional full-time positions over a five-year period. The capital investment credits are earned at a rate of 10% of eligible capital investments up to a maximum of $7.0 million, while the jobs creation credits are earned annually pursuant to the agreement.

The tax credits earned are first applied against the tax liability otherwise due, and if there is no such liability present, the claim for tax credits will be reimbursed in cash to the Company. The maximum amount of the refundable tax credit to be earned for each year is fixed, and the Company earns the credits by meeting certain capital investment and job creation thresholds over the term of the agreement. Should the Company earn and receive the job creation tax credits but not maintain those full-time positions through the end of the agreement, the Company may be required to pay those credits back to the WEDC.

Under the Original WEDC Agreement, the Company recorded the earned tax credits as job creation and capital investments occurred. The tax credits earned from capital investment are being recognized as an offset to depreciation expense over the expected life of the acquired capital assets. The tax credits earned related to job creation were recognized as an offset to operational expenses through December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had earned all $9.0 million of the refundable tax credits, and as of December 31, 2022, the Company had received payment of $9.0 million from the WEDC under the Original WEDC Agreement.

Under the Amended WEDC Agreement, the Company records the earned tax credits as job creation and capital investments occurs. The tax credits earned from capital investment are recognized as a reduction to capital expenditures at the time the costs are incurred, and then as an offset to depreciation expense over the expected life of the acquired capital assets. The tax credits earned related to job creation are recognized as an offset to operational expenses in the period in which the credits are earned. The credits recognized will be required to be repaid if the Company does not maintain minimum cumulative job requirements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the amounts recorded as an offset to operating expenses for the tax credits earned were not material.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company has earned $9.0 million of the refundable tax credits under the Amended WEDC Agreement and received payment of $1.7 million from the WEDC. The unpaid portion is $7.3 million, of which $3.8 million is reported in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $3.5 million is reported in other long-term assets, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets reflecting when collection of the refundable tax credits is expected to occur.

(16) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Business Combinations

Resolution Bioscience, Inc.

On September 12, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition (the “Resolution Bioscience Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding capital stock of Resolution Bioscience, Inc. (“Resolution Bioscience”) from Agilent Technologies, Inc. Resolution Bioscience develops and commercializes next-generation sequencing-based precision oncology solutions through its Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) certified lab based in Kirkland, Washington. The acquisition provides the Company with a high-quality blood-based therapy selection platform, complementing its comprehensive, tissue-based OncoExTra test. The Company has included the financial results of Resolution Bioscience in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for Resolution Bioscience was approximately $54.2 million, which consisted of the following:

(In thousands)
Cash						$	52,527
Fair value of replaced equity awards						1,675
Total purchase price						$	54,202

Of the $52.5 million of consideration to be settled through the payment of cash, $50.0 million was paid as of September 30, 2023. The remaining $2.5 million represents cash owed to the seller for reimbursement of employee-related compensation and benefit costs for pre-acquisition services. The remaining cash consideration will be held by the Company until settlement and was recorded in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company replaced unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a combination-date fair value of $4.6 million. Of the total consideration for replaced equity awards, $1.7 million was allocated to the consideration transferred, and $2.9 million was deemed compensatory as it was attributable to post acquisition vesting. The compensatory replaced equity awards will be expensed over the remaining service periods on a straight-line basis to general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as follows:

(In thousands)
Net operating assets						$	14,663
Developed technology						26,000
Total identifiable assets acquired						40,663
Net operating liabilities						(7,029)
Net identifiable assets acquired						33,634
Goodwill						20,568
Net assets acquired						$	54,202

(Unaudited)

The Company recorded a $26.0 million identifiable intangible asset related to the developed technology associated with Resolution Bioscience’s liquid biopsy therapy selection tests. Developed technology represents purchased technology that had reached technological feasibility and for which Resolution Bioscience had substantially completed development as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the developed technology has been determined using the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach, which involves significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). These inputs include projected revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, obsolescence, and an estimated discount rate. The developed technology intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 17 years.

The calculation of the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired was recorded to goodwill, which is primarily attributed to the acquired workforce expertise and expected sales force and therapy selection product portfolio synergies. The total goodwill related to this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

The total purchase price allocation is preliminary and based upon estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the measurement period as additional information for the estimates is obtained. Because of the close proximity between the acquisition date and quarter-end, the measurement period remains open pending the completion of valuation procedures related to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including in connection with the developed technology intangible asset.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the combined results of operations for the Company and Resolution Bioscience, as though the companies were combined as of the beginning of January 1, 2022.

						Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)						2023						2022						2023						2022
Total revenues						$	629,857					$	525,802					$	1,859,353					$	1,541,154
Net loss before tax						(7,257)						(163,261)						(181,660)						(535,017)

The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at such time. Expected cost savings and other synergistic benefits resulting from the acquisition were not reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information. The Company did not have any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition included in the reported unaudited pro forma financial information. Revenue and net loss before tax from Resolution Bioscience included in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was not material.

Acquisition-related costs were not material and have been recorded within general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. These costs include fees associated with financial, legal, accounting, and other advisors incurred to complete the acquisition.

OmicEra Diagnostics, GmbH

On May 2, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition (the “OmicEra Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding equity interests of OmicEra Diagnostics GmbH. The OmicEra Acquisition provided the Company a state-of-the-art proteomics lab based in Planegg, Germany. OmicEra combines its mass spectrometry-based proteome analysis technology with its in-house proteomics scientific expertise to discover more reliable and valuable protein biomarkers, which will expand the Company’s research and development capabilities.

Refer to the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K for detailed disclosures on the combination, including the fair value of the consideration transferred, purchase price allocation, and goodwill and intangible assets identified in the transaction. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes to the purchase price and purchase price allocation, and the measurement period has closed.

Divestitures

Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score Test

On August 2, 2022, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (“Asset Purchase Agreement”) with MDxHealth SA, the Company completed the sale of the intellectual property and know-how related to the Company’s Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score test, which will allow the Company to focus on the highest impact projects core to the Company’s vision. Refer to the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K for additional details on the initial sale and fair value of the consideration received at the closing date.

On August 23, 2023, the Company and MDxHealth executed the Second Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement (“Second Amendment”) related to the sale of the GPS test. Under the Second Amendment, the Company agreed to allow MDxHealth to defer the 2023 contingent consideration payment by three years in exchange for additional consideration and more favorable contingent consideration terms. The Company received additional consideration with a fair value of $3.1 million, which was recorded as a gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and is included in other operating income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Second Amendment also increases the maximum contingent consideration from $70.0 million to $82.5 million and eliminates the minimum revenue thresholds previously required to be met under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

As a result of the elimination of the minimum revenue thresholds, the Company determined that a significant reversal of a gain is not probable and therefore the contingent consideration is no longer constrained. The Company recorded a contingent consideration gain of $68.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is included in other operating income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The gain was estimated using historical GPS test revenues by MDxHealth under the most likely amount method.

As of September 30, 2023, the contingent consideration is classified as a contract asset. The contract asset, which is included in other long-term assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, was $68.9 million and zero as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

(17) SEGMENT INFORMATION

Management determined that the Company functions as a single operating segment, and thus reports as a single reportable segment. This operating segment is focused on the development and global commercialization of clinical laboratory services allowing healthcare providers and patients to make individualized treatment decisions. Management assessed the financial information routinely reviewed by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker, its President and Chief Executive Officer, to monitor the Company's operating performance and support decisions regarding allocation of resources to its operations. Performance is continuously monitored at the consolidated level to timely identify deviations from expected results.

The following table summarizes total revenue from customers by geographic region. Product revenues are attributed to countries based on ship-to location.

Total revenues						$	628,338					$	523,073					$	1,852,881					$	1,531,284

(18) INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and a benefit of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and a benefit of $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s income tax expense recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily related to current foreign and state tax expense. A deferred tax liability of $18.7 million and $19.7 million was recorded as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which is included in other long-term liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets based on management’s determination that it is more likely than not the benefit will not be realized.

The Company had $33.7 million and $28.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These amounts have been recorded as a reduction to the Company’s deferred tax asset, if recognized they would not have an impact on the effective tax rate due to the existing valuation allowance. Certain of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits could change due to activities of various tax authorities, including possible settlement of audits, or through normal expiration of various statutes of limitations. The Company does not expect a material change in unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.

As of September 30, 2023, due to the carryforward of unutilized net operating losses and research and development credits, the Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for the tax years 2000 through 2023, and to state income tax examinations for the tax years 2000 through 2023. No interest or penalties related to income taxes have been accrued or recognized as of September 30, 2023.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Objective

The purpose of this Management's Discussion and Analysis is to better allow our investors to understand and view our Company from management's perspective. We are providing an overview of our business and strategy including a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (the “2022 Form 10-K”).

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or other comparable terms. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our strategies, prospects, expectations, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding expected future operating results; expectations for development of new or improved products and services and their impact on patients; our strategies, positioning, resources, capabilities and expectations for future events or performance; and the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions, including estimated synergies and other financial impacts. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance or events. Instead, they are based only on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Actual results, conditions and events may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results, conditions and events to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: our ability to successfully and profitably market our products and services; the acceptance of our products and services by patients and healthcare providers; our ability to meet demand for our products and services; our reliance upon certain suppliers, including suppliers that are the sole source of certain products; the willingness of health insurance companies and other payers to cover our products and services and adequately reimburse us for such products and services; the amount and nature of competition for our products and services; the effects of any judicial, executive or legislative action affecting us or the healthcare system; recommendations, guidelines and quality metrics issued by various organizations regarding cancer screening or our products and services; our ability to successfully develop new products and services and assess potential market opportunities; our ability to effectively enter into and utilize strategic partnerships and acquisitions; our success establishing and maintaining collaborative, licensing and supplier arrangements; our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals and comply with applicable regulations; the results of our validation studies and clinical trials, including the risks that the results of future studies and trials may differ materially from the results of previously completed studies and trials; our ability to manage an international business and our expectations regarding our international expansion and opportunities; our ability to raise the capital necessary to support our operations or meet our payment obligations under our indebtedness; the potential effects of changing macroeconomic conditions, including the effects of inflation and interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and any such efforts to hedge such effects; our ability to efficiently and flexibly manage our business amid uncertainties related to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic; the possibility that the anticipated benefits from our business acquisitions will not be realized in full or at all or may take longer to realize than expected; the possibility that costs or difficulties related to the integration of acquired businesses’ operations or the divestiture of business operations will be greater than expected and the possibility that integration or divestiture efforts will disrupt our business and strain management time and resources; the outcome of any litigation, government investigations, enforcement actions or other legal proceedings; our ability to retain and hire key personnel; and the impact of labor shortages, turnover, and labor cost increases. The risks included above are not exhaustive. Other important risks and uncertainties are described in the Risk Factors and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections of the 2022 Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. You are further cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Our Screening Tests

Cologuard Test

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States (“U.S.”) and the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. among non-smokers. Each year in the U.S., there are approximately 153,000 new cases of colorectal cancer and approximately 53,000 deaths. It is widely accepted that colorectal cancer is among the most preventable, yet least prevented cancers.

Our flagship screening product, the Cologuard test, is a patient-friendly, non-invasive stool-based DNA (“sDNA”) screening test that utilizes a multi-target approach to detect DNA and hemoglobin biomarkers associated with colorectal cancer and pre-cancer. Upon approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in August 2014, our Cologuard test became the first and only FDA-approved sDNA non-invasive colorectal cancer screening test. Our Cologuard test is now indicated for average risk adults 45 years of age and older.

Clinical Genetic Testing

We provide more than 5,000 predefined genetic tests for nearly all clinically relevant genes, additional custom panels, and comprehensive germline, whole exome (“PGxome®”), and whole genome (“PGnome®”) sequencing tests.

Our hereditary cancer test, RiskguardTM, helps people understand their inherited risk of cancer, arming them with critical information to make better treatment decisions.

Our Precision Oncology Tests

Our Oncotype® portfolio delivers actionable genomic insights to inform prognosis and cancer treatment after a diagnosis. In breast cancer, the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test is the only test shown to predict the likelihood of chemotherapy benefit as well as recurrence in invasive breast cancer. The Oncotype DX test is recognized as the standard of care and is included in all major breast cancer treatment guidelines. The OncoExTraTM test applies comprehensive tumor profiling, utilizing whole exome and whole transcriptome sequencing, to aid in therapy selection for patients with advanced, metastatic, refractory, relapsed, or recurrent cancer. With an extensive panel of approximately 20,000 genes and 169 introns, the OncoExTra test is one of the most comprehensive genomic (DNA) and transcriptomic (RNA) panels available today. We enable patients to take a more active role in their cancer care and makes it easy for providers to order tests, interpret results, and personalize medicine by applying real-world evidence and guideline recommendations.

International Business Background and Products

We now commercialize or plan to commercialize our Oncotype tests internationally through employees in Canada, Japan and eight European countries, as well as through exclusive distribution agreements. We have provided our Oncotype tests in more than 90 countries outside of the U.S. We do not offer our Cologuard test outside of the U.S.

Pipeline Research and Development

Our research and development efforts are focused on developing new products and enhancing existing products to address unmet cancer needs and expand the clinical utility and addressable patient populations for our existing tests. We expect to advance liquid biopsy through biomarker discovery and validation in tissue, blood, or other fluids and to leverage recent business development activities to accelerate our leadership in earlier cancer detection and treatment guidance. We are pursuing the following opportunities:

•Colorectal Cancer Screening. We are seeking to improve our Cologuard test’s performance characteristics, focusing on reducing the false positive rate of the test. In June 2023, we and Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”) presented data from the prospective BLUE-C study, the FDA registrational trial for our next-generation Cologuard test, showing overall sensitivity of 94% for colorectal cancer at specificity of 91%. We plan to complete submission for FDA approval by the end of 2023. We are also working to develop a blood-based screening test for colorectal cancer as a second-line option for people who haven't been screened with more accurate methods.

•Multi-Cancer Early Detection (“MCED”) Test Development. We are currently seeking to develop a MCED test, which will be branded as CancerguardTM, to help detect many different types of cancer from a single blood draw. In September 2022, we presented data at the European Society for Medical Oncology (“ESMO”) Congress from a biomarker validation study, which demonstrated the ability to detect cancer signals from 15 organ sites with a mean sensitivity of 61% and mean specificity of 98.2%. The multi-biomarker approach detected stage I and stage II cancers with a combined sensitivity of 38.7%. In June 2023, we announced a collaboration with Baylor Scott & White to utilize our Cancerguard test within a subset of their clinics to generate real-world experience and evidence of our MCED approach. A larger case-control study is underway to further validate the results shared at ESMO and to determine the final design of the Cancerguard test. We will then begin recruiting patients for the FDA registrational Study of All comeRs (“SOAR”) trial, which we expect to be the largest prospective, interventional MCED trial ever conducted in the U.S.

•Molecular Residual Disease (“MRD”) Test Development. We plan to offer our OncoDetect™ test, a tumor-informed MRD test to help detect small amounts of tumor DNA that may remain in patients’ blood after they have undergone initial cancer treatment. This test will help patients and oncologists understand the success of initial treatment and monitor for cancer recurrence. Our goal is to support all patients in MRD and recurrence monitoring, whether there is access to tumor tissue to inform patient-specific biomarker targets or no access to tissue and a predefined biomarker panel is used. We are currently evaluating different technological approaches, including a tumor-agnostic platform, and have presented promising early data. In June 2023, we entered into a sponsored research agreement and exclusive license agreement with Broad Institute to utilize their Minor Allele Enriched Sequencing Through Recognition Oligonucleotides (“MAESTRO”) diagnostic testing technology to further our ability to develop and launch impactful MRD tests.

Research and development, which includes our clinical study programs, accounts for a material portion of our operating expenses. As we seek to enhance our product portfolio and advance our pipeline, we expect that our research and development expenditures will continue to be a significant portion of our operating expenditures.

COVID-19 Testing Business

We discontinued our COVID-19 testing operations in the second quarter of 2023. From March 2020 through June 2023, we partnered with various customers, including the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services, to administer testing. Customers were responsible for employing trained personnel to collect specimens. Specimens were sent to our laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin, where we ran the assay in our laboratories and provided test results to ordering providers.

2023 Priorities

Our top priorities for 2023 are to (1) provide outstanding experiences for patients and teams, (2) deliver on the future of cancer diagnostics, and (3) live our mission.

Provide Outstanding Experiences for Patients and Teams

We intend to continue to provide an exceptional experience for our patients and team members. We plan to improve customer relations by delivering simple and smooth workflows, providing communication that is clear and easy to understand, and providing results that are fast and accurate. We're working to deliver a common technology platform for our cancer tests and improve our digital tools for providers and patients. We will also strive to ensure that Exact Sciences remains a great place to work by taking care of our people.

Deliver on the Future of Cancer Diagnostics

In 2023, we will focus on advancing new tests in our highest priority programs including colorectal cancer screening, multi-cancer early detection, and molecular residual disease and recurrence testing. We plan to continue investing in ongoing and additional clinical trials to enhance existing products and bring new products to patients and providers.

Live our Mission

We are committed to improving lives through testing more people with our laboratory testing services in 2023. By testing more people, we will continue to expand our business in a cost-efficient manner allowing us to generate sustainable profits and increase shareholder value. Generating sustained profits will put us in a better position to continue investing in life-changing cancer diagnostics to help achieve our mission.

Recent Developments and Trends

We estimate there are up to 60 million Americans that are not up to date with their colon cancer screenings. Screening rates have been persistently low for decades, and this problem was recently intensified by the addition of nearly 20 million people to the screening population when the recommended screening age moved from 50 to 45. The capacity for screening colonoscopies in the U.S. is relatively fixed because they are dependent on the number of gastroenterologists available to perform the procedures. Health systems and health care providers are motivated to increase screening rates because they are measured as part of the HEDIS and Medicare Stars quality measure systems. More health systems are recognizing the opportunity to partner with Exact Sciences to address their screening rates and related quality measures. We aim to partner with them to implement our Cologuard test as an essential part of their screening toolkit and embed it in their workflows. We continue to implement more electronic ordering interfaces connecting health systems to Exact Sciences. Our Cologuard test market share is increasing in larger health systems, helping us screen more Americans.

Results of Operations

We have generated significant losses since inception and, as of September 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $3.42 billion. While our operating results have continued to improve, we expect to incur net losses for the near future, and it is possible we may never achieve profitability.

COVID-19 Testing						6.0						52.0						(46.1)
Total						$	1,852.9					$	1,531.3					$	321.6

The increase in Screening revenue was mainly due to an increase in the number of completed Cologuard tests. The increase in completed Cologuard tests for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to improved sales team productivity, growth across all customer segments, and improvements in patient compliance initiatives including the launch of enhanced Cologuard collection kits toward the end of 2022. The increase in Precision Oncology revenue was mainly due to an increase in the number of completed Oncotype DX breast cancer tests, both domestically and internationally including tests sold in Japan beginning in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in completed Oncotype tests was partially offset by a decrease of $4.5 million and $18.7 million in revenues from our divested Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score test (“GPS test”), for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease in COVID-19 testing revenue was a result of lower demand as the pandemic abates, which led to the discontinuation of our COVID-19 testing in the second quarter of 2023.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenue recognized from changes in transaction price was $4.7 million and $23.7 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenue recognized from changes in transaction price was $6.4 million and $17.6 million, respectively. The increase to revenue from changes in transaction price is a result of improvements made in our order to cash operations, specifically within our billing systems and processes.

We expect continuing revenue growth for our Cologuard and Oncotype tests subject to seasonal variability. Our revenues are affected by the test volume of our products, patient adherence rates, payer mix, the levels of reimbursement, our order to cash operations, and payment patterns of payers and patients.

Cost of sales (exclusive of amortization of acquired intangible assets). The increase in cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in production costs and personnel expenses, which was a result of an increase in completed Cologuard and Oncotype tests and the corresponding increase in headcount to support the increase in tests completed. Cost of sales (exclusive of amortization of acquired intangible assets) as a percentage of revenue was 27% and 26% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to 28% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in cost of sales (exclusive of acquired intangible assets) as a percentage of revenue was due to improved efficiency in logistical arrangements and personnel as a result of increased volumes. We expect that cost of sales will generally continue to increase in future periods as a result of an increase in our existing laboratory testing services and as we launch our pipeline products. We also expect to see a corresponding increase in personnel and support services associated with this growth.

Research and development expenses. The increase in research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in personnel expenses and facility and support services due to an increase in headcount and other resources needed to support our ongoing clinical trials. Our direct research and development costs, which represent a significant portion of our research and development expenses, are primarily related to clinical trial expenses for our BLUE-C clinical study and research related expenses for the development of our MCED and MRD tests. The increase in direct research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to costs incurred related to our MCED and MRD research activities, which have increased throughout 2023. These costs were offset slightly by a decrease in expenses related to the BLUE-C study, as enrollment completed in December 2022. The decrease in direct research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in BLUE-C clinical trial related costs, which started decreasing in the third quarter of 2022. We expect that research and development expenses will generally continue to increase in future periods as we continue to invest to advance new tests.

Sales and marketing expenses. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in direct marketing costs and facility and support services. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in direct marketing costs and professional fees, personnel expenses, and facility and support services. The decrease in direct marketing costs and professional fees was driven by decreases in advertising spend and costs incurred under our promotion agreement with Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”), which ended in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in personnel expenses was due to minor restructuring of the sales force to reduce overlap and increase productivity. The decrease in facility and support services was due to fewer costs incurred on commercial related information technology projects. We expect sales and marketing expenses in 2023 to remain below 2022 levels due to improved efficiency from our commercial organization. We expect sales and marketing expenses to generally increase in future periods but continue to decrease as a percentage of revenue over time as our Cologuard and Oncotype testing services grow and we make new tests available.

General and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in facility and support services in addition to personnel and stock-based compensation expenses to support the growth in our operations. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in professional and legal fees, facility and support services, and other general and administrative expenses. The increase in professional and legal fees was a result of our civil investigative demand with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and a qui tam lawsuit as further described in Note 14 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The increase in other general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in the gain recorded as a result of the change in fair value of our outstanding contingent consideration as further described in Note 7 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The increase in facility and support services was incurred to support the growth in our operations. We expect general and administrative expenses will generally continue to increase in future periods to support the growth in our existing and pipeline products, but we expect it will decrease as a percentage of revenue over time as we leverage efficiencies in our personnel and information technology systems.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased to $23.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $23.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased to $68.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $74.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to reduced amortization on the intangible asset that was disposed of as a result of the sale of the GPS test in August 2022. This was partially offset by amortization of the intangible asset acquired as part of our acquisition of OmicEra Diagnostics, GmbH in May 2022 and Resolution Bioscience in September 2023.

Impairment of long-lived assets. Impairment of long-lived assets decreased to zero and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $5.9 million and $12.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The impairment charge recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to building leases on certain of our domestic facilities. The intangible asset impairment charges recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included an impairment to the supply agreement intangible asset acquired as part of the acquisition of Genomic Health, Inc., an impairment of the acquired developed technology intangible asset acquired as part of the acquisition of Paradigm Diagnostics, Inc. (“Paradigm”), and an impairment to a building lease at a domestic facility.

Other operating income (loss). Other operating income was $72.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a loss of $13.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $72.0 million gain recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes a $68.9 million contingent consideration gain and $3.1 million in additional consideration received from MDxHealth SA (“MDxHealth”) as a result of an amendment to the asset purchase agreement in August 2023. The $13.2 million loss recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 represents the loss on the sale of our GPS test to MDxHealth. The sale of the GPS test and amendment to the asset purchase agreement with MDxHealth is further discussed in Note 16 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Investment income (loss), net. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had net investment income of $2.1 million compared to net investment loss of $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had net investment income of $7.4 million compared to net investment loss of $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to gains recorded on our marketable securities and investments in privately held companies. Net investment loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to impairment charges recorded on our equity securities.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense recorded from our outstanding convertible notes totaled $6.3 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest expense decreased to $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense recorded from our outstanding convertible notes was $17.3 million, which was partially offset by a net gain on settlement of convertible notes of $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Interest expense recorded from our outstanding convertible notes totaled $12.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The convertible notes are further described in Note 9 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Income tax benefit (expense). Income tax expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a benefit of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Income tax expense was $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a benefit of $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily related to current foreign and state tax expense. The income tax benefit recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily related to the future limitations on and expiration of certain Federal and State deferred tax assets, offset by current foreign and state tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have incurred losses since our inception, and have historically financed our operations primarily through public offerings of our common stock and convertible debt and through revenue generated by the sale of our laboratory testing services. We expect our operating expenditures to continue to increase to support future growth of our laboratory testing services, as well as an increase in research and development and clinical trial costs to support the advancement of our pipeline products and bringing new tests to market. We expect that cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand at September 30, 2023, along with cash flows generated through our operations, will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least the next twelve months based on current operating plans.

We have access to a revolving line-of-credit (the “Revolver”) of up to $150.0 million, which had its maturity date extended to November 2025 through an amended agreement in October 2022. The Revolver is collateralized by certain marketable securities which must continue to maintain a minimum market value of $150.0 million. PNC Bank, National Association has issued letters of credit totaling $4.4 million, which reduces the amount available for cash advances under the line of credit to $145.6 million. As of September 30, 2023, we had not drawn any funds under the Revolver. In addition to the Revolver, we have access to $150.0 million under an accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”). The amount that we may borrow is determined based on the amount of qualifying accounts receivable at a given point in time and is collateralized by our accounts receivables. As of September 30, 2023, we had $50.0 million outstanding under the Securitization Facility, which is the minimum amount that we must borrow under the terms of the Securitization Facility. The Securitization Facility matures in June 2024 at which point we will need to repay the outstanding balance or refinance the Securitization Facility. Any refinancing is subject to market conditions and other factors, including evaluating other financing options available to us. If we do not refinance, we currently have the ability and resources to repay the balance in cash. The Revolver and Securitization Facility are further described in Note 8 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We may raise additional capital to expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons. If we are unable to obtain sufficient additional funds to enable us to fund our business plans and strategic investments, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, and we may be required to delay the implementation of our plans or otherwise scale back our operations. There can be no certainty that we will ever be successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations to achieve and maintain profitability and meet all of our obligations as they come due.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $594.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and approximately $139.8 million in marketable securities.

The majority of our investments in marketable securities consist of fixed income investments, and all are deemed available-for-sale. The objectives of this portfolio are to provide liquidity and safety of principal while striving to achieve the highest rate of return. Our investment policy limits investments to certain types of instruments issued by institutions with investment grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer.

Amounts In millions						2023						2022
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities						$	86.6					$	(275.6)
Net cash provided by investing activities						116.4						132.2
Net cash provided by financing activities						149.7						66.4

Operating activities

The cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in revenue, driven by an increase in the number of completed Cologuard and Oncotype tests, which reduced our net loss. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was also due to a decrease in certain of our operating expenses as a result of cost saving measures implemented in the second half of 2022 and timing of payments on our accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in cost of sales to support the increase in completed Cologuard and Oncotype tests.

Investing activities

The decrease in cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to multiple factors. The acquisition of Resolution Bioscience in September 2023 resulted in a cash outflow of $50.0 million, compared to 2022 where we received $25.0 million from the sale of the GPS test. Additionally, we saw a net decrease of $22.0 million in the purchases, maturities and sales of marketable securities as a result of investing more in money market funds due to market conditions. In 2023 we decreased our spend in privately held companies by $20.5 million. We also decreased our purchases of property, plant and equipment by $52.3 million due to completion of our clinical lab and warehouse expansions that were completed in 2022.

Financing activities

The increase in cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to proceeds of $138.0 million from the issuance of convertible notes in the first quarter of 2023 offset by proceeds of $50.0 million from our accounts receivable securitization facility in the second quarter of 2022.

Material Cash Requirements

A discussion of our material cash requirements as of December 31, 2022 was provided in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of our 2022 Form 10-K.

In February 2023, we entered into a privately negotiated exchange and purchase agreement with a single holder of certain of our convertible notes due in 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) and 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). We issued the holder $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.0% Convertible Notes due in 2030 in exchange for $183.7 million of aggregate principal of 2027 Notes, $201.0 million of aggregate principal of 2028 Notes, and $138.0 million of cash. In addition, in March 2023 we entered into a privately negotiated exchange agreement with two holders of certain of our convertible notes due in 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). We issued the holder $73.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.0% Convertible Notes due in 2030 (collectively, the “2030 Notes”) in exchange for $65.8 million of aggregate principal of 2025 Notes. The 2030 Notes will mature on March 1, 2030 and bear interest at a rate of 2.0% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2023. The outstanding aggregate principal of all our convertible notes was $2.34 billion as of September 30, 2023. Refer to Note 9 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Other than the convertible notes transactions described above, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in our specified material cash requirements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be appropriate under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2022 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since our 2022 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk is principally confined to our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and our outstanding variable-rate debt. We invest our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities in securities of the U.S. governments and its agencies and in investment-grade, highly liquid investments consisting of commercial paper, bank certificates of deposit, and corporate bonds, which as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were classified as available-for-sale. We place our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities with high-quality financial institutions, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one institution, and have established investment guidelines relative to diversification and maturities designed to maintain safety and liquidity.

Based on a hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates, the potential losses in future earnings, fair value of risk-sensitive financial instruments, and cash flows are immaterial, although the actual effects may differ materially from the hypothetical analysis. While we believe our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities do not contain excessive risk, we cannot provide absolute assurance that, in the future, our investments will not be subject to adverse changes in market value. In addition, we maintain significant amounts of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities at one or more financial institutions that are in excess of federally insured limits. Given the potential instability of financial institutions, we cannot provide assurance that we will not experience losses on these deposits. We do not utilize interest rate hedging agreements or other interest rate derivative instruments.

As of September 30, 2023, we had $50.0 million in outstanding variable rate debt. Based on a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in market interest rates, annual interest expense on variable rate debt as of September 30, 2023 would increase by approximately $0.5 million. If we were to draw down additional amounts under either our Revolving Loan or Securitization Facility, the impact of increases in prevailing market interest rates would be even greater. All of our other significant interest-bearing liabilities bear interest at fixed rates and therefore are not subject to fluctuations in market interest rates; however, because these interest rates are fixed, we may be paying a higher interest rate, relative to market, in the future if circumstances change.

Foreign Currency Risk

The functional currency for most of our international subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, and as a result we are not subject to material gains and losses from foreign currency translation of the subsidiary financial statements. Substantially all of our revenues are recognized in U.S. dollars, although a small portion is denominated in foreign currency as we continue to expand into markets outside of the U.S. Certain expenses related to our international activities are payable in foreign currencies. As a result, factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets will affect our financial results.

We enter into forward contracts to mitigate the impact of adverse movements in foreign exchange rates related to the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities and hedge our foreign currency exchange rate exposure. As of September 30, 2023, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $33.3 million. Although the impact of currency fluctuations on our financial results has been immaterial in the past, there can be no guarantee that the impact of currency fluctuations related to our international activities will not be material in the future.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures enable us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our Exchange Act filings within the required time period. Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the periodic reports filed with the SEC is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
