Sales and marketing expenses are primarily attributable to employee-related costs including sales management, sales representatives, sales and marketing consultants, and marketing and customer service personnel in the Clinical Services segment. Advertising costs are expensed at the time they are incurred and were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Stock-based Compensation

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company began granting performance stock units (“PSUs”) subject to a market condition to certain of its executives as part of its executive compensation program. The number of shares awarded will be subject to adjustment based on the achievement of an absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance target. If the TSR

performance target is achieved, the awards will vest at the end of the three-year requisite service period so long as the employee remains employed with the Company through the applicable vesting date.

The Company measures compensation expense for stock-based awards to employees, non-employee contracted physicians, and directors based upon the awards’ initial grant-date fair values. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance awards is recorded over the requisite service period in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For awards with only a service condition, the Company expenses stock-based compensation using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for the entire award. For awards with a market condition, the Company expenses the grant date fair value at the target over the vesting period regardless of the value that the award recipients ultimately receive. The fair values of stock option grants are estimated as of the date of grant by applying the Black-Scholes option valuation model (“Black-Scholes”). The fair value of restricted stock with a market condition is estimated at the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model (“Monte Carlo”). The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or restricted stock, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The fair value of restricted stock without a market condition is estimated using the current market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Black-Scholes is affected by the stock price on the date of the grant as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include the expected term of the option, expected risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of common stock, and expected dividend yield; each of which is described below. The assumptions for expected term and expected volatility are the two assumptions that significantly affect the grant date fair value.

Expected Term: The expected term of an option is determined using the simplified method under SAB 107 which represents the average between the vesting term and the contractual term. The Company utilizes the simplified method to determine the expected life of the options due to insufficient exercise activity during recent years.

Risk-free Interest Rate: The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes model is based on the implied yield at the grant date of the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with an equivalent term to the stock-based award being valued. Where the expected term of a stock-based award does not correspond with the term for which a zero-coupon interest rate is quoted, the Company uses the nearest interest rate from available maturities.

Expected Stock Price Volatility: The Company uses its own historical weekly volatility because that is more reflective of market conditions.

Dividend Yield: Because the Company has never paid a dividend and does not expect to begin doing so in the foreseeable future, the Company assumed no dividend yield in valuing the stock-based awards.

The fair value of the PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was estimated as of the grant date using the Monte Carlo, which requires management to make assumptions regarding risk-free interest rates and volatility of the Company’s stock price. The Monte Carlo incorporates the same assumptions as Black-Scholes as to stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company utilized the expected life of the PSUs for the expected term of the award, as the vesting term and contractual term of the awards are identical.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). This update amends guidance to require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted including adoption in an interim period. If the Company early adopts in an interim period, the Company is required to apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2023 and there was no impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy has been established based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including its marketable securities and certain cash equivalents. The Company considers all securities available-for-sale, including those with maturity dates beyond 12 months, and therefore these securities are classified within current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are available to support current operational liquidity needs. The money market accounts are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets and are included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The marketable securities are generally valued based on other observable inputs for those securities (including market corroborated pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves) based on information provided by independent third-party pricing entities, except for U.S. Treasury securities which are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.

The following tables set forth the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair values of the Company’s marketable securities accounted for as available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Compensation cost for the PSUs is recognized straight-line over the requisite service period, regardless of when, if ever, the market condition is satisfied.

The Company recognized approximately $0.6 million and $0.9 million of stock-based compensation related to the PSUs in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. There were no such amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

A summary of the PSU activity under the Company’s plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is as follows:


	Number of Stock Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2022	—	$	—
Granted	305,105	$	21.83
Vested	—	$	—
Forfeited	—	$	—
Nonvested at September 30, 2023	305,105	$	21.83

The fair value of each PSU granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was estimated as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo with the following assumptions:


			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Expected term (in years)			3.0
Risk-free interest rate (%)			3.6% - 4.0%
Expected volatility (%)			68.4% - 69.9%
Dividend yield (%)			—
Weighted average grant date fair value per share			$21.83

As of September 30, 2023, there was approximately $5.8 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.6 years.

Modification of Stock Option and Restricted Stock Awards

In the second quarter of 2023, upon the departure of certain executives from the Company and in accordance with the terms of each of their respective employment agreements, 101,937 previously granted time-based vesting stock option awards and 61,746 previously granted time-based vesting restricted stock awards accelerated vesting. The Company accounted for the effects of the accelerated vesting of these stock awards as modifications, and recognized $0.9 million of incremental stock-based compensation which consisted of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the acceleration of stock option awards and restricted stock awards, respectively, within general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. There were no such amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

In the second quarter of 2022, upon the prior Chief Legal Officer’s departure from the Company and in accordance with the terms of the prior Chief Legal Officer’s employment agreement, 41,487 previously granted time-based vesting stock option awards and 76,138 previously granted time-based vesting restricted stock awards accelerated vesting. The Company accounted for the effects of the accelerated vesting of these stock awards as a modification, and recognized $2.2 million of incremental stock-based compensation which consisted of $0.3 million and $1.9 million for the acceleration of stock option awards and restricted stock awards, respectively, within general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. There were no such amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

In the first quarter of 2022, upon the prior Chief Executive Officer’s departure from the Company and in accordance with the terms of the prior Chief Executive Officer’s separation agreement, 237,960 previously granted time-based vesting stock option awards and 142,302 previously granted time-based vesting restricted stock awards accelerated vesting. The Company accounted for the effects of the accelerated vesting of these stock awards as a modification, and recognized $5.9 million of incremental

stock-based compensation which consisted of $2.3 million and $3.6 million for the acceleration of stock option awards and restricted stock awards, respectively, within general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. There were no such amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Note 7. Revenue Recognition

The Company’s two reportable segments for which it recognizes revenue are (1) Clinical Services and (2) Advanced Diagnostics. The Clinical Services segment provides various clinical-testing services related to oncology diagnostics, community-based oncology and pathology sales, patient engagement, and clinical decision support. Functions within the Advanced Diagnostics segment include pharma services, informatics, R&D, and minimal residual disease, liquid biopsy and therapy selection business development.

Clinical Services Revenue

The Company’s specialized diagnostic services are performed based on a written test requisition form or an electronic equivalent. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenues are recognized once the diagnostic services have been performed and the results have been delivered to the ordering physician. These diagnostic services are billed to various payers, including client direct billing, commercial insurance, Medicare and other government payers, and patients. Revenue is recorded for all payers based on the amount expected to be collected, which considers implicit price concessions. Implicit price concessions represent differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration the Company expects to receive based on negotiated discounts, historical collection experience, and other anticipated adjustments, including anticipated payer denials.

Advanced Diagnostics Revenue

The Company’s Advanced Diagnostics segment generally enters into contracts with pharmaceutical and biotech customers as well as other contract research organizations (“CROs”) to provide research and clinical trial services. Such services also include validation studies and assay development. The Company records revenue on a unit-of-service basis based on the number of units completed towards the satisfaction of a performance obligation. In addition, certain contracts include upfront fees and the revenue for those contracts is recognized over time as services are performed.

Additional offerings within the Advanced Diagnostics portfolio includes Informatics, which involves the licensing of de-identified data to pharmaceutical and biotech customers in the form of either retrospective records or prospective deliveries of data. Informatics revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of retrospective data or over time for prospective data feeds. The Company negotiates billing schedules and payment terms on a contract-by-contract basis, and contract terms generally provide for payments based on a unit-of-service arrangement.

Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are deferred as contract liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The associated revenue is recognized and the contract liability is reduced as the contracted services are subsequently performed. Contract assets are established for revenue recognized but not yet billed. These contract assets are reduced once the customer is invoiced and a corresponding receivable is recorded. Additionally, Advanced Diagnostics incurs sales commissions in the process of obtaining contracts with customers. Sales commissions that are payable upon contract award are recognized as assets and amortized over the expected contract term. The amortization of commission expense is based on the weighted average contract duration for all commissionable awards in the respective business in which the commission expense is paid, which approximates the period over which goods and services are transferred to the customer. For offerings with primarily short-term contracts, such as Informatics, the Company applies the practical expedient which allows costs to obtain a contract to be expensed when incurred, if the amortization period of the assets that would otherwise have been recognized is one year or less. Contract assets and capitalized commissions are included in other current assets and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Most contracts are terminable by the customers, either immediately or according to advance notice terms specified within the contracts. All contracts require payment of fees to the Company for services rendered through the date of termination and may require payment for subsequent services necessary to conclude the study or close out the contract.

Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to contract liability balances outstanding at the beginning of the period was $0.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Amortization of capitalized commissions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Amortization of capitalized commissions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company considered various factors for both its Clinical Services and Advanced Diagnostics segments in determining appropriate levels of homogeneous data for its disaggregation of revenue; including the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. Clinical Services categories align with the types of customers due to similarities of billing method, level of reimbursement, and timing of cash receipts. Unbilled amounts are accrued and allocated to payer categories based on historical experience. In future periods actual billings by payer category may differ from accrued amounts. Advanced Diagnostics relate to contracts with large pharmaceutical and biotech customers as well as other CROs. Because the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are similar and primarily driven by individual contract terms Advanced Diagnostics revenue is not further disaggregated.

The following table details the disaggregation of revenue for both the Clinical Services and Advanced Diagnostics Segments (in thousands):

Note 8. Restructuring

In 2022, the Company embarked on a restructuring program to improve execution and drive efficiency across the organization. This program is a framework for identifying, prioritizing and executing operational improvements. Restructuring charges incurred consist of severance and other employee costs, costs for optimizing the Company’s geographic presence (“Facility Footprint Optimization”), and consulting and other costs. There were no such charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s accrued restructuring balance (in thousands):


	Severance and Other Employee Costs		Facility Footprint Optimization		Consulting and Implementation Costs		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2022	$	559	$	—	$	960	$	1,519

Current liabilities							$	3,771
Long-term liabilities							—
							$	3,771

(1) Other adjustments include non-cash asset charges related to Facility Footprint Optimization costs.

Restructuring activities are ongoing and the Company expects to incur additional restructuring charges of approximately $5.9 million. The Company estimates these additional restructuring charges to be comprised of approximately $0.7 million in severance and other employee costs, $4.5 million of Facility Footprint Optimization costs, and $0.7 million of consulting and other costs.

In the third quarter of 2023, in response to new incremental information including ongoing negotiations with counterparties, the Company revised its original restructuring plan cost and timing of approved projects. As a result, the Company anticipates incurring further restructuring charges extending into 2024. The Company expects these charges will ultimately result in enhanced operational efficiencies as it continues to optimize its geographic presence.

Note 9. Income Taxes

At the end of each interim period, management estimates the annual effective tax rate based on forecasted pre-tax results of the Company’s global operations and applies such rate to its ordinary quarterly earnings to calculate income tax expense related to ordinary income. The tax effects of items significant, unusual and infrequent in nature are discretely calculated and recognized in the period during which they occur. These discrete items often relate to changes in tax laws, excess tax benefits/deficiencies related to share-based compensation or adjustments to previously reported tax expense/benefits.

Management assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets as of the end of each quarter, weighing available positive and negative evidence, and is required to establish and maintain a valuation allowance for these assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the evidence can be objectively verified. If negative evidence exists, positive evidence is necessary to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.

A cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome. Cumulative loss in recent years is commonly defined as a three-year cumulative loss position. As of September 30, 2023, all of the Company’s ongoing operations were in a three-year cumulative loss position. Management determined that sufficient objectively verifiable positive evidence did not exist to overcome the negative evidence of the Company’s cumulative loss position. Accordingly, the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the Company’s pre-tax loss for the three and nine months ended

September 30, 2023, includes the unfavorable impact of a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred income tax assets expected to be created in 2023 for additional U.S. net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards as well as Switzerland, China and Singapore deferred tax assets. The reversal of U.K. deferred tax liabilities will provide a source of realization to support a portion of the U.K. deferred tax assets, and therefore a partial valuation has been established for those deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the Company’s pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, includes the favorable impact of recognizing the realizable portion of the U.K. benefit.

In August 2023, the Company received notification from the Internal Revenue Service that their review of the examination of the Company’s U.S federal tax return for the tax year ended December 31, 2017 was complete. There were no changes to the reported tax and the notice had no impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 10. Net Loss Per Share

The Company presents both basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised, stock awards vested and if the 2028 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes were converted. The potential dilution from stock awards is accounted for using the treasury stock method based on the average market value of the Company’s common stock. The potential dilution from conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes is accounted for using the if-converted method, which requires that all of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the 2025 Convertible Notes will be included in the calculation of diluted EPS assuming conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the 2025 Convertible Notes at the beginning of the reporting period (or at time of issuance, if later).

The following table shows the calculations (in thousands, except net loss per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

NET LOSS	$	(18,516)	$	(36,852)	$	(73,642)	$	(121,563)




Basic weighted average shares outstanding	125,687		124,425		125,358		124,055




Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	125,687		124,425		125,358		124,055

Basic net loss per share	$	(0.15)	$	(0.30)	$	(0.59)	$	(0.98)
Diluted net loss per share	$	(0.15)	$	(0.30)	$	(0.59)	$	(0.98)

The following potential dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023	2022	2023	2022
Stock options	451	45	444	272
Restricted stock awards	769	295	877	266
2025 Convertible Notes	5,538	5,538	5,538	5,538
2028 Convertible Notes	5,215	5,215	5,215	5,215

In addition, 408,362 and 214,169 shares of PSU awards are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as the contingency had not been satisfied.

In connection with the 2028 Convertible Notes offering, on January 11, 2021, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “Capped Call Transactions”) with option counterparties pursuant to capped call confirmations at a cost of approximately $29.3 million. The potential effect of the Capped Call Transactions were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as the Company’s closing price of $12.30 on September 29, 2023 did not exceed the conversion price of $85.75 per share. The Capped Call Transactions are not reflected in diluted net loss per share as they are anti-dilutive.

Legal Proceedings

On January 20, 2021, Natera, Inc. filed a patent infringement complaint against the Company’s newly-acquired subsidiary Inivata Limited and its subsidiary Inivata, Inc. in U.S. District Court for the district of Delaware, alleging Inivata’s InVisionFirst®-Lung cancer diagnostic test of infringing two patents. Natera then filed a second patent infringement complaint on December 20, 2022 against Inivata Limited and Inivata Inc. alleging that the RaDaR® minimal residual disease test infringes one patent. The litigation is in the discovery stage. On July 31, 2023, Natera, Inc. filed a patent infringement complaint against the Company’s subsidiary, NeoGenomics Laboratories, Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, alleging that the RaDaR® minimal residual test infringes on two patents. The complaint seeks damages and injunctive relief. The Company believes that it has good and substantial defenses to the claims alleged in these suits, but there is no guarantee that the Company will prevail. At the time of filing the outcome of these matters are not estimable or probable.

On December 16, 2022, a purported shareholder class action captioned Daniel Goldenberg v. NeoGenomics, Inc., Douglas VanOort, Mark Mallon, Kathryn McKenzie, and William Bonello was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, naming the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers as defendants. This lawsuit was filed by a stockholder who claims to be suing on behalf of anyone who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between February 27, 2020 and April 26, 2022. The lawsuit alleges that material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact were made in the Company’s public disclosures in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The alleged improper disclosures relate to statements regarding the Company’s menu of tests, business operations and compliance with health care laws and regulations. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and expert fees. On April 27, 2023, a shareholder of the Company filed a shareholder derivative action on behalf of the Company captioned Puskarich v. VanOort, et al. in Clark County Nevada, naming certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors as defendants. The allegations are substantially similar to the allegations asserted in the Goldenberg action. Substantially similar shareholder derivative actions were subsequently filed in Lee County, Florida and in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Wong v. VanOort, et al. and Mellema v. VanOort, et al., respectively. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to the claims alleged in the lawsuits, but there is no guarantee that the Company will prevail. At the time of filing the outcome of these matters are not estimable or probable.

Regulatory Matter

With the assistance of outside counsel, the Company voluntarily conducted an internal investigation that focused on the compliance of certain consulting and service agreements with federal healthcare laws and regulations, including those relating to fraud, waste and abuse. Based on this internal investigation, the Company voluntarily notified the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) of the Company’s internal investigation in November 2021. The Company’s interactions with regulatory authorities and the Company’s related review of this matter are ongoing. The Company has a reserve of $11.2 million in other long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for potential damages and liabilities primarily associated with the federal healthcare program revenue received by the Company in connection with the agreements at issue that were identified during the course of this internal investigation. This reserve reflects management’s best estimate of the minimum probable loss associated with this matter. As a result of the internal investigation and ongoing interactions with regulatory authorities, the Company may accrue additional reserves for any related potential damages and liabilities arising out of this matter. The Company was notified on June 30, 2022 that the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) will be leading the investigation of this matter. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the duration, scope, result or related costs associated with any further investigation, including by the OIG, DOJ, or any other governmental authority, or what penalties or remedial actions they may seek. Accordingly, at this time, the Company is unable to estimate a range of possible loss in excess of the amount reserved. Any determination that the Company’s operations or activities are not in compliance with existing laws or regulations, however, could result in the imposition of civil or criminal fines, penalties, disgorgement, restitution, equitable relief, or other losses or conduct restrictions, which could be material to the Company’s financial results or business operations.

Note 12. Related Party Transactions

The Company has Advanced Diagnostics contracts with HOOKIPA Pharma, Inc., an entity with whom a director of the Company, Michael A. Kelly, was a director of until April 7, 2023. In connection with these contracts, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.3 million of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Revenue recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in connection with these contracts was $0.3 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Overview

We operate a network of cancer-focused testing laboratories in the United States and Europe. Our mission is to improve patient care through exceptional cancer-focused testing services. Our vision is to be the world’s leading cancer testing and information company by delivering uncompromising quality, exceptional service and innovative solutions.

As of September 30, 2023, we operated College of American Pathologists (“CAP”) accredited and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (“CLIA”) certified laboratories in Fort Myers, Florida; Aliso Viejo and San Diego, California; Research Triangle Park, North Carolina; and Houston, Texas; and a CAP accredited full-service, sample-processing laboratory in Cambridge, United Kingdom. We also have several, small, non-processing laboratory locations across the United States for providing analysis services. We currently offer the following types of testing services:

•Cytogenetics (“karyotype analysis”) – the study of normal and abnormal chromosomes and their relationship to disease. Cytogenetics involves analyzing the chromosome structure to identify changes from patterns seen in normal chromosomes. Cytogenetic studies are often performed to provide diagnostic, prognostic and occasionally predictive information for patients with hematological malignancies.

•Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (“FISH”) – a molecular cytogenetic technique that focuses on detecting and localizing the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences and genes on chromosomes. The technique uses fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with which they show a high degree of sequence similarity. Fluorescence microscopy is used to visualize the fluorescent probes bound to the chromosomes. FISH can be used to help identify numerous types of gene alterations, including amplifications, deletions, and translocations.

•Flow cytometry – a technique utilized to measure the characteristics of cell populations. Typically performed on liquid samples such as peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate, it may also be performed on solid tissue samples such as lymph nodes following additional processing steps. Cells are labeled with selective fluorescent antibodies and analyzed as they flow in a fluid stream through a beam of light. The properties measured in these antibodies include the relative size, relative granularity or internal complexity, and relative fluorescence intensity. These fluorescent antibodies bind to specific cellular antigens and are used to identify abnormal and/or malignant cell populations. Flow cytometry is typically utilized in diagnosing a wide variety of hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms. Flow cytometry is also used to monitor patients during the course of therapy to identify extremely low levels of residual malignant cells, known as minimal residual disease (“MRD”) monitoring.

•Immunohistochemistry (“IHC”) and Digital Imaging – the process of localizing cellular proteins in tissue sections and relies on the principle of antigen-antibody binding. IHC is widely used in the diagnosis of abnormal cells such as those found in cancer. Specific surface membrane, cytoplasmic, or nuclear markers may be identified. IHC is also widely used to understand the distribution and localization of differentially expressed proteins. Digital imaging allows clients to visualize scanned slides and also perform quantitative analysis for certain stains. Scanned slides are received online in real time and can be previewed often a full day before the glass slides can be shipped back to clients.

•Molecular testing – a rapidly growing field which includes a broad range of laboratory techniques utilized in cancer testing. Most molecular techniques rely on the analysis of DNA and/or RNA, as well as the structure and function of genes at the molecular level. Molecular testing technologies include: liquid biopsy tests for advanced non-small cell lung cancer, all solid tumor types (pan-cancer), and certain breast cancer cases; DNA fragment length analysis; polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) analysis; reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (“RT-PCR”) analysis, real-time (or quantitative) polymerase chain reaction (“qPCR”) analysis; bi-directional Sanger sequencing analysis; and next-generation sequencing (“NGS”) analysis.

•Morphologic analysis – the process of analyzing cells under the microscope by a pathologist, usually for the purpose of diagnosis. Morphologic analysis may be performed on a wide variety of samples, such as peripheral blood, bone marrow, lymph node, and from other sites such as lung, breast, etc. The services provided at NeoGenomics may include primary diagnosis, in which a sample is received for processing and our pathologists provide the initial diagnosis; or may include secondary consultations, in which slides and/or tissue blocks are received from an outside institution for second opinion. In the latter setting, the expert pathologists at NeoGenomics assist our client pathologists on their most difficult and complex cases.

Clinical Services Segment

The clinical cancer testing services we offer to community-based pathologists and oncologists are designed to be a natural extension of, and complementary to, the services that they perform within their own practices. We believe our relationship as a non-competitive partner to community-based pathology practices, hospital pathology labs, reference labs, and academic centers can empower them to expand their breadth of testing to provide a menu of services that could match or exceed the level of service found in any center of excellence around the world. Community-based pathology practices and hospital pathology labs may order certain testing services on a technical component only (“TC” or “tech-only”) basis, which allows them to participate in the diagnostic process by performing the professional component (“PC”) interpretation services without having to hire laboratory technologists or purchase the sophisticated equipment needed to perform the technical component of the tests. We also support our pathology clients with interpretation and consultative services using our own specialized team of pathologists for difficult or complex cases and we provide overflow interpretation services when requested by clients.

We believe we are a leading provider of Heme Molecular and NGS testing and one of the key providers of solid tumor NGS testing solutions. These tests are interpreted by NeoGenomics’ team of Molecular experts and are often ordered in conjunction with other testing modalities. NGS panels are one of our fastest growing testing areas and clients can often receive a significant amount of biomarker information from very limited samples. These comprehensive panels can allow for faster treatment decisions for patients as compared to a series of single-gene molecular tests being ordered sequentially. We have a broad Molecular testing menu and our targeted NeoTYPE panels include genes relevant to a particular cancer type, as well as other complementary tests such as IHC and FISH. In addition, we offer molecular-only NGS targeted and comprehensive panels which combine DNA and RNA into a single work stream in order to report a full spectrum of genomic alterations, including mutations, fusions, copy number variations, and gene expression. This comprehensive menu means that our clients can get most of their oncology testing needs satisfied by our laboratory. This is attractive to our clients as patient samples do not need to be split and then managed across several laboratories. The acquisition of Inivata provided us with oncology Liquid Biopsy technology capabilities. InVisionFirst®-Lung is a highly sensitive, targeted plasma-based assay for patients with non-small cell lung cancer, and RaDaR® is an industry-leading liquid biopsy assay designed to detect residual disease and recurrence in plasma samples from patients with solid tumor malignancies. We expect our Molecular laboratory and NGS capabilities to be a key growth driver in the coming years.

In addition, we directly serve oncology, dermatology and other clinician practices that prefer to have a direct relationship with a laboratory for cancer-related genetic testing services. We typically serve these types of clients with a comprehensive service offering where we perform both the technical and professional components of the tests ordered. In certain instances, larger clinician practices have begun to internalize pathology interpretation services and our tech-only service offering allows these larger clinician practices to also participate in the diagnostic process by performing the PC interpretation services on TC testing performed by us. In these instances, we will typically provide all of the more complex, molecular testing services. The Clinical Services segment also offers Trapelo™, a decision-making Informatics tool, to help health care professionals navigate the rapidly evolving field of precision medicine. Trapelo™ is an end-to-end, clinical decision-support platform designed to resolve the complexities of precision oncology – from test ordering to therapy selection to navigating prior authorization.

Advanced Diagnostics Segment

Our Advanced Diagnostics revenue consists of three revenue streams:

•Clinical trials and research;

•Validation laboratory services; and

•Informatics.

Our Advanced Diagnostics segment supports pharmaceutical firms in their drug development programs by supporting various clinical trials and research. This portion of our business often involves working with the pharmaceutical firms (“sponsors”) on study design as well as performing the required testing. Our medical team often advises the sponsor and works closely with them as specimens are received from the enrolled sites. We also work on developing tests that can potentially be used as part of a companion diagnostic to determine patients’ response to a particular drug. As studies unfold, our clinical trials team reports the data and often provides key analysis and insights back to the sponsors.

NEOGENOMICS, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Advanced Diagnostics segment provides comprehensive testing services in support of our pharmaceutical clients’ oncology programs from discovery to commercialization. In biomarker discovery, our aim is to help our customers discover the right content. We help our customers develop a biomarker hypothesis by recommending an optimal platform for molecular screening and backing our discovery tools with the informatics to capture meaningful data. In other pre-clinical and non-clinical work, we can use our platforms to characterize markers of interest. Moving from discovery to development, we seek to help our customers refine their biomarker strategy and, if applicable, develop a companion diagnostic pathway using the optimal technology for large-scale clinical trial testing.

Whether serving as the single contract research organization or partnering with one, our Advanced Diagnostics team provides significant technical expertise, working closely with our customers to support each stage of clinical trial development. Each trial we support comes with dedicated project management and quality assurance oversight. We have experience in supporting submissions to the Federal Drug Administration (“FDA”) for companion diagnostics. Our Advanced Diagnostics strategy is focused on helping to bring more effective oncology treatments to market through providing world-class laboratory services in oncology to key pharmaceutical companies in the industry.

We believe that we are well positioned to service pharmaceutical sponsors across the full continuum of the drug development process. Our Advanced Diagnostics team can work with these sponsors during the basic research and development phase as compounds come out of translational research departments, as well as work with clients from Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical trials as the sponsors work to demonstrate the efficacy of their drugs. The laboratory biomarker tests that are developed during this process may become companion diagnostic (“CDx”) tests, that will be used on patients to determine if they could respond to a certain therapy. We are able to offer these CDx tests to the market immediately after FDA approval as part of our Day 1 readiness program. This ability helps to speed the commercialization of a drug and can enable pharmaceutical sponsors to reach patients through our broad distribution channel in the Clinical Services segment.

We are committed to connecting patients with life-altering therapies and trials. In carrying out these commitments, we aim to provide transparency and choice to patients regarding the handling and use of their data through our Notice of Privacy Practices, and have invested in leading technologies to secure the data we maintain. We are continuing to develop and broaden our informatics and data-related tools to leverage our unique market position and oncology expertise to help our stakeholders solve real-world problems such as identifying patients for clinical trials or providing clinical decision support tools for physicians and providers.

2023 Focus Areas:

We are committed to sustainable growth while transforming cancer care for patients and providers.

Competitive Strengths

We believe the following areas are competitive differentiators:

Turnaround Times

We consistently focus on improving turnaround times for test results to our clients nationwide in the Clinical Services segment. By providing information to our clients in a timely manner, physicians can begin treating their patients as soon as possible. Timeliness of results by our Clinical Services segment is a driver of additional testing requests by referring physicians. Turnaround times allow for the performance of other adjunctive tests within an acceptable diagnosis window in order to augment or confirm results and more fully inform treatment options. Additionally, we believe that our turnaround time on testing and our project milestones are a key factor in our Advanced Diagnostics segment.

Innovative Service Offerings

We believe we currently have one of the most extensive menu of tech-only FISH services in the country as well as extensive and advanced tech-only flow cytometry and IHC testing services. These types of testing services allow the professional interpretation component of a test to be performed and billed separately by our physician clients. Our tech-only services are designed to give pathologists the option to choose, on a case by case basis, whether they want to order only the technical component of testing so they can perform the professional interpretation, or order “global” services and receive a comprehensive test report which includes a NeoGenomics pathologist’s interpretation of the test results. Our clients appreciate the flexibility to access NeoGenomics’ medical staff for difficult or complex cases or when they are otherwise unavailable to perform professional interpretations.

We offer a comprehensive suite of technical and professional interpretation services to meet the needs of clients who are not credentialed and/or trained in interpreting various testing modalities and who require our pathology specialists to interpret their testing results. In our global service offerings, our lab performs the technical component of testing and our MDs and PhDs provide the professional component of testing by interpreting the results of those tests. Our professional staff is also available for post-test consultative services. Clients using our global service offering rely on the expertise of our medical team to give them the answers they need in a timely manner to help inform their diagnoses and treatment decisions.

Our Molecular and NGS test menus provide clients with the ability to order single gene molecular tests, targeted NeoTYPE panels that include the relevant actionable genes for a particular cancer type as well as large NGS panels. Our Advanced Diagnostics segment offers a full range of sequencing testing including whole exome and whole genome sequencing.

National Direct Sales Force

Our direct sales force has been trained extensively in cancer genomic testing and consultative selling skills to service the needs of clients. Our sales team for the clinical cancer testing services is organized into nine regions – Northeast, Northwest, Mid-Atlantic, South, Southeast, Southwest, West, Great Lakes, and South Central. Our sales team will be focused on end-to-end client experience as a growth driver. Our Advanced Diagnostics segment has a dedicated team of business development specialists who are experienced in working with pharmaceutical sponsors and helping them with the testing needs of their research and development projects as well as Phase I, II and III studies. These sales representatives utilize our custom Customer Relationship Management System (“CRM”) to manage their territories, and we have integrated the key customer care functionality within our Laboratory Information Management System (“LIMS”) into the CRM so that our sales representatives can stay informed of emerging issues and opportunities within their regions. Our in-house customer care team is aligned with our field sales team to serve the needs of our clients by utilizing the same LIMS and CRM. Our field teams can see in real-time when a client calls the laboratory, the reason for the call, the resolution, and if face-to-face interaction is needed for follow-up. Our sales force educates clients on new test offerings and their proper utilization and our representatives are often seen as trusted advisors by our clients.

Seasonality

The majority of our clinical testing volume is dependent on patients being treated by hematology/oncology professionals and other healthcare providers. The volume of our testing services generally declines modestly during the summer vacation season, year-end holiday periods and other major holidays, particularly when those holidays fall during the middle of the week. In addition, the volume of our testing tends to decline due to extreme adverse weather conditions, such as excessively hot or cold spells, heavy snow, hurricanes or tornadoes in certain regions, consequently reducing revenues and cash flows in any affected period.

In our Advanced Diagnostics segment, we enter into both short-term and long-term contracts, ranging from one month to several years. While the volume of this testing is not as directly affected by seasonality as described above, the testing volume does vary based on the terms of the contract. Our volumes are often based on how quickly sponsors can get patient enrollees for their trials and seasonality can impact how quickly patients are enrolled. Many of our long-term contracts contain specific

Restructuring charges relate to a restructuring program to improve execution and drive efficiency across the organization. Restructuring charges consist of severance and other employee costs, costs for optimizing our geographic presence, and consulting and other costs.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $2.1 million and $9.9 million of restructuring charges, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, these charges were comprised of $0.4 million in severance and other employee costs, $0.8 million in Facility Footprint Optimization costs, and $0.9 million of consulting and other costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these charges were comprised of $5.4 million in severance and other employee costs, $2.9 million in Facility Footprint Optimization costs, and $1.6 million of consulting and other costs. There were no such amounts recorded for the three and nine ended September 30, 2022.

In the third quarter of 2023, in response to new incremental information including ongoing negotiations with counterparties, we revised our original restructuring plan cost and timing of approved projects. As a result, we anticipate incurring further restructuring charges extending into 2024. Restructuring activities are on-going and we expect to incur additional restructuring charges of approximately $5.9 million. We expect these charges will ultimately result in enhanced operational efficiencies as we continue to optimize our geographic presence.

Non-GAAP Measures

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net (loss) income from continuing operations before: (i) interest (income) expense, net, (ii) tax (benefit) or expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (v) acquisition and integration related expenses, (vi) CEO transition costs, (vii) restructuring costs, and (viii) other significant or non-operating expenses, net.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations, public and private sales of debt and equity securities, and bank debt borrowings.

The following table presents a summary of our consolidated cash flows for operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 as well balances of cash and cash equivalents and working capital:

(in thousands)	2023		2022

Operating activities	$	(19,737)	$	(62,308)
Investing activities	59,512		$	1,580

(1) Defined as current assets less current liabilities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $19.7 million compared to $62.3 million in the same period in 2022. This $42.6 million decrease was primarily driven by our operating results (net loss adjusted for depreciation, amortization of intangibles, and other non-cash charges) which resulted in $47.6 million of lower cash used by operating activities year-over-year, offset by a $5.1 million increase in cash used resulting from net changes in operating assets and liabilities. The decrease in cash used related to our operating activities was primarily driven by an improvement in gross

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

profit of $45.9 million. In addition, timing of cash receipts and cash payments in the ordinary course of business caused operating cash flow to fluctuate from period to period.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash provided by investing activities was $59.5 million compared to $1.6 million in the same period in 2022. This change was primarily due to a $67.2 million decrease in purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities. In addition the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included $12.1 million of net proceeds from the sale of a building and associated land.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash provided by financing activities was $3.3 million compared to $10.0 million in the same period in 2022. The cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 consisted of $3.4 million for the net issuance of common stock offset by $0.1 million used for the repayment of equipment financing obligations. The primary reason for the decrease in cash provided by financing activities year-over-year was the timing of cash payments for stock option exercises which can fluctuate from period to period.

Liquidity Outlook

We had $306.2 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 in addition to $96.0 million of marketable securities available to support current operational liquidity needs. We anticipate that the cash on hand, marketable securities and cash collections are sufficient to fund our near-term capital and operating needs for at least the next 12 months. Operating needs include, but are not limited to, the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures, continued research and development efforts, and potential strategic acquisitions and investments.

Capital Expenditures

We forecast capital expenditures in order to execute on our business plan and maintain growth; however, the actual amount and timing of such capital expenditures will ultimately be determined by the volume of business. We currently anticipate that our capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2023 will be in the range of $25.0 million to $35.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased, with cash, approximately $21.7 million of capital equipment, software and leasehold improvements. We have funded and plan to continue funding these capital expenditures with cash and financing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Please refer to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the accompanying notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete description of our significant accounting policies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

In May 2020, we issued $201.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes. The 2025 Convertible Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 1.25%; therefore, we do not have economic interest rate exposure with respect to the 2025 Convertible Notes. In January 2021, we issued $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes. The 2028 Convertible Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 0.25%; therefore, we do not have economic interest rate exposure with respect to the 2028 Convertible Notes. However, the fair value of the 2025 Convertible Notes and 2028 Convertible Notes is exposed to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. In addition, the fair value is affected by our common stock price. The fair value will generally increase as our common stock price increases and will generally decrease as our common stock price declines. We carry the 2025 Convertible Notes and 2028 Convertible Notes at face value less unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs on our balance sheet, and we present the fair value for required disclosure purposes only.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we invest in highly liquid and high-quality U.S. government and other highly credit rated debt securities. Our investments are exposed to market risk due to fluctuations in interest rates, which may affect our interest income and the fair market value of our investments. To minimize our exposure due to adverse shifts in interest rates, we invest in short-term securities with short maturities. If a 1% change in interest rates were to have occurred on September 30, 2023, this change would not have had a material effect on the fair value of our investment portfolio as of that date. Due to the short holding period of our investments, we do not believe that we have a material financial market risk exposure and do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected by a sudden change in market interest rates. While we believe our 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.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Our international revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies (primarily British Pounds, Swiss Francs, Chinese Renminbi and Singapore Dollars) expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. We do not hedge foreign currency exchange risks and do not currently believe that these risks are significant.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As required by SEC Rule 15d-15, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1) Effective May 25, 2023, the Company adopted the NeoGenomics, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) as approved by the Board of Directors on March 28, 2023 and a majority of the Company’s stockholders on May 25, 2023. The 2023 Plan replaced the NeoGenomics, Inc. Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, as most recently amended and subsequently approved by a majority of stockholders on May 25, 2017 (the “Prior Plan”). Both the 2023 Plan and the Prior Plan allow participants to surrender already-owned shares having a fair market value equal to the required withholding tax related to the vesting of restricted stock. Pursuant to a share withholding election made by participants in connection with the vesting of such awards, all of which were outside of a publicly-announced repurchase plan, we acquired from such participants the shares noted in the table above to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to the vesting of their restricted stock. The average prices listed in the above table are averages of the fair market prices at which we valued shares withheld for purposes of calculating the number of shares to be withheld.
